With a focus on the wonders and ways of travel, TCS Trustee Fleesie Hubbard shared a “Conversation with…” the students. Fleesie talked about her many travels to over 30 countries that began when she was 12 years old on a class trip to Egypt. In addition to her regular travels, Fleesie works as a medical researcher at the University of Maryland and formed a nonprofit with her colleagues that does an annual trip to medically underserved countries to perform cleft palate surgeries and to teach local doctors this procedure.
Encouraging the students to expand their travel experiences, Fleesie shared her private mantra of “Be Curious, Be Brave and Breathe.” The students talked about places they’ve been and where they look forward to going. It was an enjoyable and engaging conversation.
Thank you Fleesie!

Denise Kumani Gantt, Director of Education and Resident Artist at The Lyric, brings her talents into TCS again this year with a new class. Ms. Denise is focusing on the play – understanding this art form, its structure and elements. This includes reading plays, watching performances and meeting with playwrights. The students are also doing journaling that will become the basis for a performance that they will do at the End of Year Ceremony.
Thank you Ms. Denise!
The students are excited to have Ms. Leandra’s weekly Art Class start up again for the new year. Leandra brings her talent, background as a commercial artist and 25 years of teaching experience at Loyola Blakefield into the classroom. Last year the students produced some remarkable work including their beautiful Impressionist paintings that were featured at the End of Year Ceremony. We are eager to witness the skills she develops in the students this year and the creativity she brings forward.
Thank you Ms. Leandra!
