Thank you to the shout from The Baltimore Beat! Read below from their latest issue where they featured their "Best (and Worst) of Baltimore 2024: For the Culture" Best: The Kids Are Alright Award In our current semi-apocalyptic-hellscape, finding hope and finding joy isn’t easy. Many folks have negative things to say about Baltimore (See Dietz further below) and Baltimore’s young people. We wanted to highlight the work of five Baltimore-based youth groups and organizations, which illustrate the talent, creativity, and promise of the next generation of Baltimoreans. If you are ever searching for moments of brightness and hope, look no further than the existence and work of Charm Lit Mag, Writers In Baltimore Schools, Wide Angle Youth Media, New Generation Scholars, and The Community School. Having faith in humanity can leave you feeling pretty jaded; these young people are working to ensure we have a future. Support them if you can with donations!...

Learning about education in Liberia was the theme of yesterday's continuing dialogue with our partner organization B4YT. We are in our 2nd year of working with Burning Barriers Building Bridges Youth Theatre, a youth empowerment organization in Liberia, West Africa. Every other week we exchange videos where the young people from each of our organizations share about a topic to learn about each other's lives, conditions and issues. Our students watched a video produced by B4YT's youth about the education system in Liberia with their young people sharing both their experiences and perspectives. We then filmed a return video answering questions B4YT submitted to us including the structure of our school day and the impact of racism in schools. This effort is facilitated by TCS staff and alumnus Janiah Tillery and continues to be an enlightening experience that we hope will also include an exchange visit at some point in the future.

We had a spirited Sponsor meeting tonight as we wrapped up our first trimester of the school year. It was a night to update families and sponsors about some of the activities and accomplishments of the last 3 months. Most of all, it was a night to celebrate our students and their growth, engagement and successes. Here are a few statistics that help tell the story of this remarkable group of young people: Attendance Rate: 99.1% - this is better than many businesses and is at a time when the Baltimore City School System is grappling with an attendance crisis where 50% of their students are chronically absent - missing 10% or more of the school year. Honor Roll Rate: 64% - this is the highest rate the school has ever had. We have a very demanding and rigorous curriculum and to be on the Honor Roll students must maintain a G.P.A. of at least 90% and not have below 80% in any subject. 43% of the students have an outstanding 4.0 average while balancing college courses with their high school work. 100% of our 10th grade class are passing their first college course this semester. 100% of our 11th grade students are passing two college courses this semester both a philosophy course taught onsite by the University of Baltimore and a English 101 taught onsite by Baltimore City Community College. 33 College Credits - our 11th grade students have 15 credits at the end of this grading period and will graduate with an expected 33 college credits. We are so proud of...

We were excited to have TCS alum Ebony Love (class of '09) visit the school today. Ebony just finished her training after joining the Navy last Spring. After a short visit home, she will be going to her first duty station as a Hospital Corpsman. Ebony spoke with the students about her decision to join the Navy and her experiences so far. She also talked a bit about her time at TCS. We are so excited to have Ebony back around the school. She is looking forward to joining us for our Annual Holiday Open House this Saturday. We know several of her classmates are planning to attend and hope we can get a large group of alumni to attend. Ebony, you make us proud!...

A feast for the ears, eyes and soul. That's what today's field trip to LaRae Amoor Universe was for us at the invitation of founder Antwan Hawkins also known as Greeyo. A cultural oasis blooms in an unassuming building in the 2200 block of Maryland Avenue. After preliminary greetings where everyone introduced themselves with a twist that included a little known personal "fun fact", a musical performance ensued. With Cavon on drums, Eric on keyboards and guitar, and Jordan aka Groovy, Kevin aka A.S.E. and Greeyo on vocals we were entertained, educated and inspired on an impromptu musical journey in an intimate performance space. Joined by fellow studio member and videographer Tyus aka Mr. Visionaries, we then engaged in a Q & A and discussion. It was filled with personal stories and perspectives full of life lessons about pursuing your dreams and working collaboratively to bring something new into the world. The students were especially inspired that these men, not that much older than them, were using their talent and determination to make their dreams real. Our thanks to all of the folks at LaRae Amoor Universe and especially Greeyo for their generous sharing with us....

How to choose a bank and the value of compounding interest on savings accounts were just two of the valuable insights shared in this month's Financial Literacy Seminar. Led by Kathleen Gower with Terri Cook and Matthew Hess, this important life skills seminar is brought to the students by wealth management firm Berman McAleer. The students were enthralled by how just a modest amount of money put aside each month can grow over a lifetime. They peppered our presenters with questions about banking and saving and are looking forward to Part II of this seminar next month. We are thankful to all the Kathleen, Terri and Matt and all the folks at Berman McAleer for this series and the delicious lunch as well! ...
