As part of this weekly effort that introduces the students to a diverse set of Baltimore artists, Christianne Knight came into the school today. Christianne is a fiber artist who shared how she spins fiber into spools that she then uses to make her work.  Each of the students was given a crochet needle and picked out yarn to create a work. For most of the students this was the first time they had ever attempted anything like this. Christianne generously encouraged the students to bring the tools and materials home to continue their work. This was an especially interactive and enjoyable session for the students.  Thank you Christianne and our appreciation to Cheryl Fair for curating these workshops....

Money management was on the minds of TCS students today as we welcomed back our friends from Berman McAleer, The first monthly Financial Literacy class of the year was introduced by Kathleen Gower who designs this series and Ashley Wilkinson who co-taught today's seminar. The class started with a game that broke the students into two groups that each had to answer financial questions such as comparing college costs or the cost of car insurance for teenagers. This was followed by a session where the students shared what they would like to learn this year from cell phone plans to credit cards and investment.  Kathleen is collecting this information to design the seminars for this year to make sure they are relevant to the student's interests. Thank you Berman McAleer for the great seminar, delicious lunch and the planning for the rest of the year!...

Famed radio talk show host and longtime social justice activist Marc Steiner joined the students in Conversation today. Marc spoke about the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the difficulty in explaining how a long oppressed people can then oppress another people. The students have been following the tragedy taking place in Gaza and the helplessness of watching it unfold day after day. Marc was asked to share his perspective as a person whose family was persecuted for being Jewish historically and during the Holocaust. He strongly opposes anti-semitism while at the same time opposing the death and destruction faced by the Palestinians. This was a deeply personal conversation and deepened the students understanding significantly. Marc has been a long time friend of the school and is a frequent visitor to the classroom. We deeply appreciate his generosity in sharing his time and life experience....
