Long time friend of the school, Mike Gallo, came in for a “Conversation with…” session today. Mike shared his story from the challenges of his early childhood on the streets of Chicago to his finding success as a family man and a business executive.
Mike also shared his story about being a survivor of the infamous 1958 “Our Lady of the Angels School fire when he was in 4th grade there. This fire took the lives of 92 children and 3 staff with more than 160 injured. Despite the years, the story remains difficult for Mike to tell, but was an important part of his message about overcoming life’s challenges and adversities.
The students learned much from Mike’s time with us today and we are grateful for his honest and heartfelt sharing.

We had a deeply meaningful “Conversation with…” young adult author Michele Bacon today. Ms. Bacon first visited the school in the spring of 2018 through an author visit arranged by Martha Marani and The Ivy Book Shop with the release of her book “Life Before”. What then was originally arranged to be a 45 minute visit grew into several hours of heartfelt conversation.
The relationship has continued throughout the years including a ZOOM session during the COVID times in 2021 when we read Michele’s book “Antipodes”..
When we decided to read Michele”s “Life Before” again this year, Michele offered to come and visit with us when she was going to be in Boston from her home on the West Coast.
This generosity and kindness is the same spirit she brought into our room today. The conversation spurred by the book went so much deeper and the hours spent were a true gift.
Thank you Michele.

Yesterday was the start of our 2nd semester course with the University of Baltimore. The students are taking Entrepreneurship 101 which is taught by Laura Bradley. The students are already enthused about what they are learning especially the 2 students who already own their own businesses. We are thankful for this opportunity that U of B provides for our students to earn college credits simultaneous to their high school education.
A special thanks to John Brenner and Philippia Richardson who run the Dual Enrollment Program at U of B and college president former Mayor Kurt Schmoke who visited the school for a “Conversation with…” last year.

Today we commemorated International Holocaust Remembrance Day by having a Conversation with Larry Gross.  Larry shared the story of how his mom and family were rounded up and taken to Auschwitz. As they disembarked from the railcar, they were met with the evil presence of Dr. Mengele, called the angel of death, who made immediate decisions of who would be sent to work or death. Larry’s mom survived the camp escaping near the end of the war, but even more horrific and miraculous, she survived a malfunction of the gas chamber itself. Larry also shared about his journey to retrace his mom’s journey from her childhood home to Auschwitz itself.  This was a most solemn conversation both as we sought to feel and understand the past and to heighten our awareness of how genocide and fascism are an ever-present threat.  We embrace the important refrain Never Again.

Our deepest appreciation to Larry for sharing this difficult but critically important story.
