[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]We had an amazing time experiencing the Towson University Planetarium. This high tech exploration of space and the universe was like no other. We learned much about the structures and forces at work beyond our planet and efforts by humans to learn about the stars and space throughout history.  It was eye opening and awe inspiring. Special thanks to Astronomy Professor Chris Ready for guiding us through this journey, Towson staff Michele Eastwood for scheduling us and TCS Trustee Fleesie Hubbard for arranging and making this experience possible.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]...

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]This month's Financial Literacy seminar was an open Question & Answer session with the students able to ask anything on their minds. Housing - purchase vs renting - and long term investing were the main topics.  Kathleen Gower and Matt Hess represented Berman McAleer this month and fielded all of the questions. Matt also did a special presentation using a spreadsheet on the board to show the impact of compound interest rates by putting even a small amount of money away in an investment fund. Thank you BMc, Kathleen, and Matt for a terrific seminar and the Chick-Fil-A lunch![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]...

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]The ins and outs of nutrition was the theme of a special health seminar led by nursing students from the University of Maryland. It was not only informative, but also tailored to be practical and helpful for teenagers. The students set personal goals and also made plans, supported by the school to eat a healthy breakfast.  We followed this up with a trip to Sam's Club to stock the school with fresh fruit, oatmeal, yogurt and bagels. This was the 1st of a 4 part series that will be held through the end of the year.  We are excited about this new partnership and thankful to faculty advisor Gina Robinson and students Chava, Simona, Kennedy and Rivkah.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]...

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]The students had the opportunity to view the amazing works of artist Amy Sherald in a visit to the Baltimore Museum of Art. Her distinctive style became widely recognized through the portrait of former First Lady Michelle Obama. Ms. Sherald, who studied locally at MICA, made provisions so school students could attend this exhibit without charge. This is part of a thrust by the BMA to more deeply integrate the museum more broadly into the local community. Special thanks to the team at the BMA and to TCS Trustee Fleesie Hubbard for arranging for our visit.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]...

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]Baltimore in 1966 was the setting for the play "No Mean City" which we attended at the Baltimore Museum of Art.  We were invited by the well-known journalist and playwright Dan Rodricks.  The play captured a moment in time weaving the complexity of racial discrimination and race relations around the first successful pennant race by the Orioles. Familiar local legends like Juanita Jackson Mitchell, Mayor McKeldin and Frank and Brooks Robinson were major characters in this important and informative look at our history. We are very thankful to Dan Rodricks for including us and look forward to his visit for aa Conversation to discuss the play.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]...

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""] To commemorate International Women's Day, the students had a Conversation with several women from the TCS community. They are Carla Rivas, Ruth and Carla's mom; Charlotte Breeden, Rylee's mom; Penina Jobita, Ethan's Aunt; and Lisa Knickmeyer, volunteer and sponsor for several TCS students. The students had many questions about challenges that the women had faced and how society has changed over the years. The women represented a variety of experiences and viewpoints with diverse backgrounds with Ms. Carla from El Salvador, Ms. Penina from Kenya, Ms. Charlotte with roots in the Jim Crow South and Ms. Lisa whose dad was in the foreign service so lived and worked in many countries. The discussion ranged from personal family experiences and gender roles to job and career issues to policy concerns on birth control and family planning. It was an honest, rich and personal conversation that deepened both understanding and relationships. We are thankful for the presence and contributions of all of the women in our community and especially thankful for Ms. Penina, Ms. Lisa, Ms. Charlotte and Ms. Carla for so generously sharing their thoughts, experiences and time with us.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""] The house was packed last night for the end of 2nd Trimester Sponsor Meeting. This event takes place 4 times a year and is a chance for this part of the school community to gather, get updated and share comments and concerns. The meeting started with the students reporting with details about all the classes and activities in the 2nd trimester. This was followed by a discussion about our many partnerships including our new ones with the Maryland Institute College of Art and the University of Maryland nursing program. The students were commended by all for their hard work and commitment to their studies as well as their personal and academic growth. In addition to the students and sponsors, members of the Board of Trustees - Justin Switzer, Fleesie Hubbard, Dyrrell Moon, Leah Culotta and Donald Lacy were also in attendance to show their support for the students and school. The meeting ended with gratitude and the distribution of report cards. The last sponsor meeting of the school year will be held on Thursday, May 28th. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]...

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]Exposing the students to opportunities in the building trades is a priority for The Community School. It is as important as preparing the students for postsecondary academic education and entering into the professions. We want our students to have opportunities that will fulfill them and enable them to have a decent life. Today we were joined by Chris Laird, a journeyman electrician in the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Union Local 24. Chris talked about his work and career trajectory, but focused on the opportunities available as an electrician. Two of our seniors toured the trade program at CCBC in Catonsville on Monday to look at their programs. In January, we had a speaker from the trade school operated by the Associated Builders and Contractors. We were happy to see our former art teacher, Leandra Laird, who accompanied her son for his presentation. Thank you Chris for sharing this important information and your experiences with the students.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]...
