Visitor from Switzerland

Ron Halbright
Regaling the students with stories of his climb up Mount Kilimanjaro, Ron Halbright enjoyed lunch and conversation at the school today. He also shared stories of his organization that is engaged throughout Europe dealing with prejudice and racism especially against immigrants. Ron, who now lives in Switzerland, used to live and work in Baltimore on a jobs and weatherization project with the school. The students were especially impacted by the story of Ron’s grandparents who were in the Holocaust during World War II. This sharing of personal stories is a key component of the education at The Community School. You can learn more about Ron’s work by Clicking this link.



Members of the school community had the opportunity to attend the Cirque du Soleil Michael Jackson show this evening at the Baltimore Arena. The students had a terrific time and we all thank the organization Tickets for Kids out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for arranging for us to be able to attend the show.
