On the first day back of the new year, Class of '18 alumnus Vernon "Will" Laumann came by to talk with the students. Vernon is on leave from U.S. Army boot camp at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. He talked about the recruitment process, the challenges of boot camp and army life, and why he chose this path. After completing his initial training he will go on to Advance Individual Training in Arizona to be an intelligence analyst. Vernon talked about how his educational experience in The Community School helped prepare him for the Army and the importance of perseverance and drive in reaching your goals. Students asked questions about his experiences and were very happy that he took his time to visit. Since graduation, Vernon has always been a regular visitor to the school and his family has remained involved with his mom, Stacy, on the Board of Trustees and his grandparents, Mimi and Poppy, keeping the student pantry stocked and fixing a monthly lunch for all of the students and staff. Everyone expressed their pride in Vernon and is looking forward to keeping informed about his progress. ...

The students took a trip going back a hundred and fifty years to the American exploration of the Colorado River and the Grand Canyon in the Center Stage play Men on Boats. This comedic play was a unique journey combining the major explorers of the time into one fierce, event filled story down the river.  There were lots of laughs in this unique but light portrayal of this part of U.S. history. It was a bit of a departure from the other two more challenging and meaningful plays that the students have experienced this year.  Still the play was enjoyable and we are thankful to Center Stage for providing this opportunity for us. Learn more about the play by reading the program book. ...

Today we wrapped up the final seminar session for the Baltimore Center Stage Young Playwrights Festival. For nine weeks, instructor Parker Matthews has been leading the students through exercises to prepare each student to write their own short play. Mr. Parker started each seminar with physical exercises to loosen the students up and get them thinking creatively. He then used the rest of the classes to teach about various elements of playwriting, such as character, plot, and setting. The students then had the opportunity to draft their stories in writing sessions with Mr. Parker there to answer questions and give feedback. After nine weeks of intensive creative writing process, the students have completed their plays! For today’s final session, each student presented an excerpt of their writing. Mr. Parker helped each student “cast” their play with other students in the room, and each part was read aloud to the class. This was a fun way to celebrate all of the students’ hard work and showcase their creativity. In January, the students will be submitting their pieces to Baltimore Center Stage along with other young creatives from second grade to twelfth grade. Up to six plays will be selected to receive a professional production at Center Stage. We are proud of our student’s work this past nine weeks and even if they don’t get selected, it is impressive to be able to say that you have written a play! Thank you so much to Mr. Parker and all of our friends at Baltimore Center Stage for giving...
