Students Learn Home Repair Skills

Have you ever had to unclog a toilet or replace the flapper in the back? Yesterday, the folks at Done Construction conducted their monthly home repair seminar on all about toilets. The students learned how a toilet works, areas where there are common leaks, how to reseat a toilet and several ways to deal with a clogged toilet.

Here at The Community School we believe that high school students should get a broad range of skills in addition to a rigorous academic program. Thank you to Done Construction for adding to our students’ education!

Associated Italian-American Charities Banquet

We were honored to attend the Annual Charitable Giving event of the Associated Italian-American Charities last night. The Community School has been supported by AIAC for 20 years at the initial invitation of Tom & Jacque Iacoboni who have continued to support the school every year since. We are grateful to them along with Tony Culotta, Felix Dialoiso, Ray Marocco Jr., Mike Meola, Mike Gallo and Mike Shaw, each of whom sponsored the school through AIAC this year.

AIAC was founded in the Italian-American community after World War II to support orphans from the war in Italy. It has grown over the years to support hundreds of nonprofit organizations with most in the Baltimore metropolitan area. Not only do its members raise all of the money given out each year through a variety of events, but many are personally involved with the organizations they sponsor.

Ethan Christou and Jayla Nickens-Gill did a great job speaking for the students and school at the event and expressed our appreciation for the invitation to the dinner and for the many years of support.

Our deepest gratitude to all of the members of AIAC for all of the kindness shown to us and for the many years of support.

Thanksgiving Dinner!

We had a delicious and heartfelt Thanksgiving dinner today at the Franciscan Center as special guests of staff Mishonia (Mimi) and Marquis. The students have volunteered at the Center and appreciate the warm relationships between TCS and the Franciscan Center. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
