TCS Student News November 22, 2023

The hostage crisis and war in Gaza is covered in this week’s edition of TCS Student News. A Conversation with Baltimore legend Mary Pat Clarke and a special Financial Literacy Seminar with Berman McAleer are just a few of the TCS stories covered as well.
This week’s edition of TCS Student News was researched, written, produced and anchored by Rhys Guilfoyle and Mohamed Cisse with technical production by Hector Rivas and advising by Megan Rivers.
TCS News is run by students of The Community School who pick their own stories and have full control over every aspect of the production process. It is a great learning experience for the students, showcasing their education, talent and skills and keeps the TCS community informed and engaged. We hope you will check it out and support this effort.

Budgeting! That’s was the theme of today’s monthly Financial Literacy Seminar. The students broke into groups where they had to discuss and make budgeting decisions concerning housing, insurance, transportation, entertainment and more while living within their income. To make it even more challenging, the students had to adjust to changing economic and life conditions. It was an eye opening exercise and kept the students engaged and thinking about these important issues.
This seminar is in its 3rd year developed and implemented by our friends at the financial planning firm Berman McAleer. Just about all the staff and partners at BMc take turns coming in to teach during the school year. The seminar is planned and led by BMc Operations Director Kathleen Gower. Today she and BMc Director of Insurance Planning Dawn O’Farrell brought in lunch and taught the class.
We are very thankful to Kathleen, Dawn and all the folks at Berman McAleer for this great addition to our students’ education.

We had a terrific “Conversation with…” former City Council President Mary Pat Clarke. Mary Pat has been a supporter of TCS since our beginning many decades ago and has been involved with us in a variety of capacities from teaching a year long weekly course called Climate Change: Baltimore, to helping students seeking college scholarships to being a faithful advocate for the school.

The students were riveted as Mary Pat spoke about early efforts to build Black representation among Baltimore’s legislators in state government. She also spoke of her efforts to increase the representation of women in government. Mary Pat was the first woman elected to citywide office in Baltimore when she became City Council President in 1987.

Mary Pat is a legend in Baltimore and beyond for her legislative work and constituent services and many people in politics today owe their start to her efforts. To the students of The Community School, Mary Pat is the familiar and friendly face who frequently stops in with an encouraging word and helping hand.

Thank you Mary Pat!

We had a most meaningful “Conversation with…” TCS alumni today, Matt Wendler, Sadie Greenwood, Dyrrell Moon, Daj’a White and Janiah Tillery joined us. They shared stories of their time in the school and how it prepared them for success once they graduated. The students heard about challenges that they faced and overcame both when in TCS and in the years since.
It was a great time of connection, sage advice from older peers and inspiration. We deeply appreciate when our alumni come back and give back.
