As the 2nd trimester came to a close and students have entered into their final grading period of the school year, students, families and sponsors met together.  A brief update report was given and then there was a lively discussion about the school going forward and the need and opportunity for everyone to be positively engaged.

All of the students were honored with special commendations going to Rhys, Karla, Ruth and Quinn for reaching the challenging goal of being on the Honor Roll and Danny, Ethan, Karla and Ruth having perfect attendance.

Who committed the murder? This was the problem to solve in the special biology lab conducted by Morgan University Biology Professor Dr. Yuejin Li. This special 2 hour lab began with a presentation on genetics and blood typing before getting into the crime solving. The students learned how to test for blood type and Rh factor on materials from the “crime scene.” They emerged with strong circumstantial evidence that it was the electrician.
Professor Li talked about her life and educational journey. She was born in China and studied both there and in the United States. She has been at Morgan University since 2017 where she both teaches and is a research scientist into the cardiovascular system. Dr. Li generously shared her time and knowledge with us. Her thorough, clear and accessible teaching style was greatly appreciated by all of the students.
Last month, we reached out to the Morgan University Science Department in hopes of building a relationship that would bring science labs into TCS. Professor Li quickly and eagerly replied and has pledged to continue to help us build these ties. We are very thankful for her and look forward to the future.

We were honored to have Marc Steiner join us yesterday to share his knowledge and perspective on the conflict in Israel and Palestine. Marc’s knowledge is both personal and profound. He has family members from Poland who perished in the Holocaust and others that were living in the kibbutz attacked on October 7th. He also has friends in Palestine and has been a life long human and civil rights organizer. Marc is a prominent radio and media figure in Baltimore that has given him the opportunity to interview and have dialogue with people on the many sides of this issue.
A key characteristic of TCS students is their interest in and knowledge of what is going on in the community and the world. They have been following this issue since long before this current crisis and were keenly interested in learning more, especially personal stories. Marc was a great source and answered all of their questions and engaged in a meaningful conversation and discussion with the students.
We are grateful for Marc Steiner’s many years of demonstrated commitment to justice and improving the lives of people and his generous sharing of time with us once again.

Dancing styles from ballet to jazz to West African were on display at The Lyric today as Aileycamp Baltimore performed. This group of 24 young artists shared their talent with the audience that was made up of students from throughout Baltimore City.

In addition to the dance, the performers shared the philosophy and daily affirmations of Aileycamp including “I will greet the day with love in my heart.”, “I will treat others with courtesy and respect at all times”, and “I will not use the word can’t to define my possibilities.”

It was an enjoyable time out and we are thankful to the folks at The Lyric for this opportunity.

Immigration was on the minds of the students today. Bria Leigh Yazic joined us for our “Conversation with…” series. Ms. Bria is a IJC Justice Fellow in the Chacon Center for Immigrant Justice at the University of Maryland Law School.
The students learned a lot about the law including how immigration law is set by Congress but the immigrant court system is under the Federal Executive Branch and not the Judicial Branch. They had many questions about how the system works as well as what is broken in it. Ms. Bria answered them all thoroughly in a way that a non-lawyer could understand. She also spoke about her personal journey and career. This was followed by a tour of our facility by the students.
It was a very informative conversation and we are very grateful to Ms. Bria for her time with us.
