Students Attend AIAC Banquet

Through the kindness of Tom & Jacque Iacoboni students and staff attended the Associated Italian-American Charities dinner held at the Boumi Temple.  The students were warmly received by the members of AIAC who have come to know the school over the years. Tom Culotta had the opportunity to address those assembled to both talk about the school but also thank them for their generosity over the last 10 years.  We are very proud of the support we get from the Italian community in Baltimore.

School Initiates New Seminar

Ben Lyons teaching Financial Literacy Course

Learning the ins and outs of finance, is the thrust of a new seminar course led by Ben Lyons.  The twice monthly seminar is titled Financial Literacy and was initiated after a chance meeting between Mr. Lyons and a group of the students at a Ravens game in December.  If you walked into class today you’d hear terms such as equity and leverage used as students were encouraged to both understand the world of finance and become empowered to maneuver through it. Utilizing a keen understanding of the finance system with compelling stories from his life, Mr. Lyons has captured both the attention and imagination of the students.

Local Employers Visit School

Getting a job is on most of the students’ minds and plans. Amanda Rothchild, co-owner of Charmington’s coffee shop in Remington, joined Randi Seymur, front end manager at Giant Foods 41st Street location, to speak to the class as part of our monthly Job Readiness Seminar. They generously shared their personal and diverse experience with the students at the invitation of seminar instructors Peggy Lashbrook and George Tilson. The students were full of questions about pay, working conditions, qualifications, openings, job satisfaction and even issues on the job.  They learned about the journey Randi and Amanda took to get to their careers. It was a great discussion that gave the students many ideas about weekend work during the school year, summer jobs, and future possibilities. We keep growing the network for the students and school!  If you have ideas or opportunities, let us know.
