It is important that youth voices are heard around the issues that affect their lives.

Done Construction is in the house! They are conducting their monthly home repair workshop today. This month is part 2 on basic electrical repairs. The students are learning how to wire outlets and lights and to add outlets to existing ones. In addition to expanding the students’ skills, the folks at Done keep adding tools to each student’s tool bags including needle nose and linesman pliers and side cutters,

Thank you Beth and crew!

Conversations with Author D. Watkins and musical artist Wendell Patrick. Halloween Happenings. A ZOOM conversation with students from Ireland. Financial Literacy. Sisters Cricle. Theatre Seminar with The Lyric. A notable birthday. And some special thanks. Check out this special two week edition of TCS Student News to learn about all of the great happenings around the school. This edition was produced by Ethan Christou and Jayla Nickens-Gill.

The students had a unique experience today with an hour and a half ZOOM with a group of students in Dublin, Ireland. This is part of an international project called CO-VISION that our students have been involved in for the past several months. This project was created to give youth a voice in both analyzing the impact of the COVID pandemic on young people and promoting changes should remote learning be necessary again. CO-VISION Ireland has partner projects in Australia, Taiwan, Mexico and ours in the U.S.

Our project is led and staffed by Denise Gantt, Education Director at the Lyric, and Maya James. TCS students have been focusing on changes that need to be made for young people to THRIVE in Baltimore.  Next week, the students will be presenting their ideas to local elected officials.  Stay tuned to hear their ideas.

Multi-talented musician Wendel Patrick came to the school today as our Conversation with…” guest. Wendel started his musical career as a concert pianist and has played with orchestras around the world. He continued to expand his direction into other genres of music including most notably hip hop and in both photography and videography. Wendel teaches at the Peabody Institute and was recently a teaching fellow at Harvard.
Wendel shared stories about his life but also his perspective on talent and skill, fulfillment and achievement. the students especially liked hearing his music and learning how it is made as well as sharing a segment of the Out of the Blocks radio program that he did with Aaron Henkin.
It was a real pleasure having Wendel back with us again. thank you Wendel!
