Friend of the school and regular TCS guest teacher, Dr. Al Scott, professor of Immunology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health came in Wednesday to hold a seminar on monkeypox. The students were keenly interested in this disease that has been in the news a lot lately. Dr. Scott explained its origins, symptoms, and prevention as well as what is known about how it spreads. The students asked a lot of great questions. Dr. Scott always leaves us so well informed about immunology and communicable diseases in the news.
We celebrated Mexican Independence Day today with a terrific presentation by student Iliana Benitez-Cruz. Iliana spoke about the history of her mother country and shared some of the cultural traditions. She came dressed in clothes that she got on the visit to her family in Oaxaca when she was 10 years old. Iliana keeps her family’s traditions alive as part of a Mexican folk dancing group. We are proud to have so many people from the Mexican community as part of our school family.
