We had a really wonderful “Conversation with…” our friends from Center Stage. Janal Daniel, the Director of Learning and Social Accountability and Jeff Bazemore, Director of Production joined us. Janal has been active with our school for many years, but this was our first time meting and talking with Jeff.

A central topic of the Conversation was the play “Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill which the students attended the day before. we explored the meaning that each student took away as well as many comments and questions about the production and what goes on behind the scenes to put it on.

We deeply appreciate our partnership with Center Stage and their generosity in having us join them several times a year to experience their plays. It has been a pleasure and a great experience for us to get to know so many of the staff over the years as well.

Students, Sponsors and family members gathered at the school for the first sponsor meeting of the new school year. This marked the first meeting where simultaneous Spanish/English translation was used through the very capable effort of student Karla Rivas.

Mr. Tom welcomed everyone, reinforced the mission of the school and talked about the importance of attending class every day including how to minimize missing classes when scheduling appointments. To update everyone, each student did a presentation on courses, seminars and activities that had taken place in the school so far this year. Gratitude was given to all who have donated lunches and pantry items. Parent Carla Monge shared her delicious homemade fresh fruit juice with all at the end of the meeting.

It was an engaging meeting and enthusiastic support was shown for the students and school.

Thank you Center Stage for inviting the students of The Community School to attend the play “Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill!” It was a captivating play about Billie Holiday, the legendary Baltimore born and raised jazz singer whose powerful lyrics and voice influenced generations.
In a very creative and compelling way, the play had Lady Day weaving her life story in between singing her songs at a final performance in Philadelphia. The play not only dealt with her personal struggles with abuse, domestic violence and racism but also put it in the context of what was going on in society as a whole. For the students, it brought home the message of how many of these issues they relate to in their lives today.
A special thanks to Janal Daniel, the Director of Learning and Social Accountability for seating us inside the play at the cabaret tables. it made the experience even more real.

We had a most amazing, meaningful and deep conversation yesterday as recent alumni came back to share their experiences with the current students. Donald Lacy, Olivia Yates, Jayla Nickens-Gill, Ronan Guilfoyle and Destiny Grimes shared their stories from before attending TCS through their current lives. The students were captivated and the energy between everyone in the room was one of the most engaging of any Conversation we have ever had. There was a lot of honest sharing from both current students and graduates about their lives, previous educational experiences and time in the school.

This is the first in a series of alumni conversations that will happen this year. Thus group of more recent alumni will come back in a few months. The next “Conversation with Alumni” will be with graduates from a little further back who are further along in their careers and lives.

We are so proud of our graduates and thankful for their continued relationship with the school.
