[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]...

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]TCS students were honored to attend the play Trinity at Center Stage.  Written by Emmy award winning writer Lena Waithe, this story of the complexity of love captivated the imagination with its uniquely creative staging. Following the play, for the whole audience, TCS junior Mohamed Cisse moderated a talk back with Lena Waithe and the other two actors - Courtney Sauls and Fedna Jacquet. The play was universally appreciated by all of the students who each took away insights into the relationships presented and how they inform our own lives. We deeply appreciate what Center Stage offers to the Baltimore community and their inclusion and kindness to our students.   [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]...
