We were honored today to have a “Conversation with…” the Jobita family – Margaret, Penina and Rita. They are the grandmother, aunt and mother of student Ethan Jobita Jemadari. His Grandmother is visiting from Kenya where she devoted her life to working in public administration assisting local governments and programs to help the people. Ms. Margaret shared experiences from her birth in a small village on Lake Victoria to growing up around the country and region. She also talked about her extraordinary work with the United Nations and her world travels.
Ethan’s mom, Rita, and aunt, Penina, now live in Baltimore and shared their experiences as African immigrants to this country. The discussion included breaking myths about Africa and looking at local, regional and global issues both here and abroad.
We all deeply enjoyed the conversation as well as the lunch they brought in prior to the conversation and the carvings they gave to the students from their motherland. We are very grateful to have the Jobitas in our school community.

 

The students were honored to have a “Conversation with…” leaders from the Baltimore County Office of the Public Defender. Jessica Bancroft, District Court Supervisor; Gayle Robinson, Deputy District Public Defender; and Layne Pierre, Circuit Court Supervisor, joined the students for a lively conversation. The discussion ranged from each of their personal life journeys to questions about the legal system.

Of particular interest to the students were inequities in the legal system and the mission of the Public Defenders Office to represent all of their clients and make a strong case on their behalf despite personal feelings about the alleged crimes.
We deeply appreciate the generous sharing of time from these often overworked public employees.

A look back on the one year anniversary of the Russian war on Ukraine is this week’s cover story on this week’s edition of TCS Student News. Catch up on news around the school including a special conversation with 3 time national Emmy award winner Margaret Murphy, a special immunology seminar with Dr. Al Scott from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Medicine and the always popular Theatre with the Lyric and Art with Ms. Leandra seminars.

Our friends from Done Construction were back at the school this month for a fresh home repair workshop. Today’s seminar was on all the ins and outs of painting. A good amount of time was spent on explaining all of the tools and tricks of the trade. Then everyone went outside to use what they learned on the practice wall built for this occasion! So far this year the students have learned about tools, electrical repairs and some plumbing as well.

Thank you Beth, Sarah Junior, Catesby, Kristin and Sarah Senior
