Salute to Eduardo Viana!

Today was our last weekly Physical Education Class of the year! This student favorite is taught by Eduardo Viana who not only is a first rate teacher, but an excellent mentor as well. In addition to such regulars as gymnastics and soccer, he has introduced the students to nontraditional sports such as cricket and the Afro-Brazilian cultural art of Capoeira from his native Brazil.

Though today was the last official class, the students look forward to helping out with The GreenMount School school Field Day fun and festivities this Friday. We welcome this opportunity to give back and help Eduardo and the younger students.

These classes take place at The GreenMount School who have kindly enabled our physical education classes for over a decade now. Our thanks to The GreenMount School community with special appreciation to Eduardo for his dedication to our students and engagement as a key member of our TCS team.

Salute to Peggy Lashbrook!

Peggy Lashbrook just wrapped up teaching her American Sign Language courses for the year. Peggy has been coming in every Tuesday to teach two different level courses in ASL that cover not only the language itself but also takes an in-depth look at deaf culture.

She brings her lifetime of dedication to the deaf and blind communities that has included many roles from direct service and teaching to consulting and administration. Peggy has coordinated deaf-blind programs for the State of Delaware and also taught at the College of New Jersey. The students are very fortunate to have this breadth of experience brought into their classroom every week.

For nearly twenty years Peggy has been a cornerstone of The Community School from her dedicated work in grant writing and resource development to preparing our case to become a state certified high school. She is also quite famous among the students for providing her weekly home cooked lunches every Tuesday.

We are so appreciative of having Peggy Lashbrook as a vital part of the TCS community and for all she does to enhance the educational experience of our students!
