JHU-CSI
Weekly science labs conducted by the Johns Hopkins University Community School Initiative (CSI) are continuing this semester. This student group made up of both undergraduate and graduate students has been active for 5 years enhancing the science education at TCS. Labs include biology, chemistry and physics and are always a highlight of the academic week. We deeply appreciate their efforts and that of the Center for Social Concern at JHU for their support.
We were fortunate to have David, son of Rena Smith, come in to share his artistic talents with the students today. David is a frequent visitor to the school and when he stopped in earlier in the week to share some are he had created with fall leaves, everyone was impressed. David agreed to teach the students how to make their own and even brought in some incredibly beautiful and unique leaves to share with the class. Everyone had a great time and took home their own creations to share with their families. Thanks, David and Rena!
The 5th annual Hauntingdon Avenue Celebration was a great opportunity to bring folks together in the neighborhood. Local musicians including our block’s own Ricky and Lennon LaRicci played and there was a fire throwing group form Johns Hopkins. Current students all attended bringing friends and family and were joined by alumni, volunteers, and supporters. Our thanks to GRIA for sponsoring the event and all of the volunteers who worked so hard to pull it off. Special thanks to the students for decorating and to Dave Bayer and Peggy Lashbrook for staffing the free hot chocolate stand. Everyone’s already looking forward to next year.
