We had our first in person Sponsor meeting of the year tonight. It was wonderful to have students, their families and sponsors together. It was especially a good chance for families new to the school to get introduced to the school community. It was a lively meeting that after introductions began with the students speaking about the start to the school year.  Families and sponsors had a chance to ask questions and share comments with each other about their experiences. The first half of the meeting was chaired by Mr. Tom, but the second half was run by new sponsor coordinator Ms. Lisa Knickmeyer. She is pulling the sponsors together into a stronger support team for the school to help with tasks but also to build more social events. This gathering added to the great start to the school year....

It was time to get moving as the students went to their first Physical Education class of the year. The students were welcomes by Ms. Bonita Lea, Head of School at The GreenMount School where our P.E. classes take place through their kindness. Mr. Tom introduced Eduardo Viana as both aa teacher and a mentor to the students. Mr. Eduardo has been teaching TCS students for many years now.  He started the class by going over the expectations of the students and reviewing how the class operates. Soccer was the sport of the day as the students dribbled up and down the court.  They returned to the school in the walk up the hill exhausted but glad for the physical activity. Welcome back Mr. Eduardo  and thank you, Ms. Bonita and the GreenMount School for welcoming us back around....

We continued the annual tradition of having the first Friday Conversation of the year with the TCS Board of Trustees. After a delicious lunch provided by the Board, there was a meaningful session where both the students and Trustees gave extensive personal introductions.  Trustees attending were Dave Bayer, Chairperson, Leah Culotta, Treasurer, and Justin Switzer, Fleesie Hubbard and Dyrrell Moon. The majority of our Board were once students in the school from various periods in our history including the 1980's, early 2000's and in recent years. The students had many questions that focused on the role of the Board and the challenges each have faced in their lives. The Trustees were equally interested in the students, their hopes and dreams, and their experiences in the school.  It was a productive and lively conversation for all....

The students eagerly anticipated the return of Mr. Don's weekly Creative Writing seminar.  For nearly 20 years, Don Riesett has worked his magic encouraging students to think and dive deeply into themselves and then produce a writing.  The creativity and diversity in approaches by the students is then shared as students read and share their work with the class. The prompts and topics vary each week and can be wildly humorous or very deep and personal. Mr. Don then edits the writings and then meets with each student individually each week to discuss their work. In the tradition of the school, Mr. Don is both a teacher and a mentor.  We are so fortunate to have his considerable talent and insights again this year.  Thank you Mr. Don!...

Mentor, musician and entrepreneur Imani Yasin was our guest for a Conversation.  Imani has been associated with the school for many years and has come to know many of the students.  She was first  introduced to us through her work as a mentor with Sisters Circle who encouraged their students to enroll in our school. In addition to Imani's regular visits to the school, she has done several Conversations over the years. This Conversation was wide ranging but included the new direction that Imani has taken in setting up a management and consulting business. This was an inspiring and enjoyable Conversation and we are thankful for having Imani as part of our community.  ...
