As the 2nd trimester came to a close and students have entered into their final grading period of the school year, students, families and sponsors met together.  A brief update report was given and then there was a lively discussion about the school going forward and the need and opportunity for everyone to be positively engaged. All of the students were honored with special commendations going to Rhys, Karla, Ruth and Quinn for reaching the challenging goal of being on the Honor Roll and Danny, Ethan, Karla and Ruth having perfect attendance.  ...

Who committed the murder? This was the problem to solve in the special biology lab conducted by Morgan University Biology Professor Dr. Yuejin Li. This special 2 hour lab began with a presentation on genetics and blood typing before getting into the crime solving. The students learned how to test for blood type and Rh factor on materials from the "crime scene." They emerged with strong circumstantial evidence that it was the electrician. Professor Li talked about her life and educational journey. She was born in China and studied both there and in the United States. She has been at Morgan University since 2017 where she both teaches and is a research scientist into the cardiovascular system. Dr. Li generously shared her time and knowledge with us. Her thorough, clear and accessible teaching style was greatly appreciated by all of the students. Last month, we reached out to the Morgan University Science Department in hopes of building a relationship that would bring science labs into TCS. Professor Li quickly and eagerly replied and has pledged to continue to help us build these ties. We are very thankful for her and look forward to the future. ...

We were honored to have Marc Steiner join us yesterday to share his knowledge and perspective on the conflict in Israel and Palestine. Marc's knowledge is both personal and profound. He has family members from Poland who perished in the Holocaust and others that were living in the kibbutz attacked on October 7th. He also has friends in Palestine and has been a life long human and civil rights organizer. Marc is a prominent radio and media figure in Baltimore that has given him the opportunity to interview and have dialogue with people on the many sides of this issue. A key characteristic of TCS students is their interest in and knowledge of what is going on in the community and the world. They have been following this issue since long before this current crisis and were keenly interested in learning more, especially personal stories. Marc was a great source and answered all of their questions and engaged in a meaningful conversation and discussion with the students. We are grateful for Marc Steiner's many years of demonstrated commitment to justice and improving the lives of people and his generous sharing of time with us once again. ...

Dancing styles from ballet to jazz to West African were on display at The Lyric today as Aileycamp Baltimore performed. This group of 24 young artists shared their talent with the audience that was made up of students from throughout Baltimore City. In addition to the dance, the performers shared the philosophy and daily affirmations of Aileycamp including "I will greet the day with love in my heart.", "I will treat others with courtesy and respect at all times", and "I will not use the word can't to define my possibilities." It was an enjoyable time out and we are thankful to the folks at The Lyric for this opportunity....

We had an amazing visit with our friends at the South Baltimore Learning Center (SBLC) today! They warmly welcomed us with a tour of their facility where we were able to see their great work in action. The tour ended with a lively conversation session with adult learners from their program as well as several of the staff. It started with a welcoming from Executive Director Melissa Smith Directors Antoinette Kennedy and Zina Barr. The students asked many questions from the challenges faced by adult learners to how the program operates. A focus was on the mission of the SBLC, their holistic approach to the participants in their program and their workplace culture and climate. After the conversation, the staff kindly fed us lunch and gave the students gifts. We made an instant connection with the folks from the South Baltimore Learning Center when we met them at an Associated Italian American Charities event. This was followed up by a visit to TCS from their senior staff as part of our "Conversation with...

Ken Bancroft shared his personal knowledge and experience with the Biology class today. The ninth and tenth grade students are studying human body systems. Currently they are focusing on the cardio-respiratory systems. A part of our approach is to make all learning real and to illustrate this with stories that connect the learning to real life. Mr. Ken took a break from his volunteer duties checking math and shared with the class his personal health story with cardiac issues and procedures as well as his experience gained as the President of St. Agnes Hospital. It was very informative, held the students' interest and added to their understanding. Thank you Ken! ...

TCS Alum Dyrrell Moon joined the students for a Conversation on Friday. Dyrrell just got back from the former Soviet Republic of Azerbaijan where he was part of a monitoring team for recent national elections. This is part of the international work that Dyrrell has been doing since graduating from Howard University. The students were especially interested because they are currently studying this part of the world as part of this year's World Geography class. It's always a special occasion when TCS alumni come back to share their experiences with the current students. Thank you Dyrrell!...
