Through the kindness of the folks at Baltimore Center Stage, we had an amazing time experiencing Jordan Cooper's play Oh Happy Day! This creatively told story carried us along, at moments laughing and others near tears as we went through the journey of the main character Keyshawn, also played by Mr. Cooper, as he reconciled with the pain of his past and found redemption. The acting was brilliant, the songs and singing were moving and the set design, particularly at the end of the play, contributed to an emotional roller coaster. The play will continue to run through October 20th and we recommend everyone to catch it while you can. Thank you Stevie Walker-Webb and Baltimore Center Stage for your commitment to expose young people to meaningful theatre that connects to their lives!...

A cornerstone of The Community School's education program is the writing seminar conducted every week by mentor and teacher Don Riesett. The students dive deep exploring topics and developing new ways of expressing their views and creativity. Some topics are whimsical and others provoke deep personal reflection. Last week's seminar was just such a moment. We have featured some of the students' works on our website with their permission. They are all worth a good read. "The students were reminded by none other than Kermit the Frog that 'It’s not easy being green.' They were then asked to consider what about their lives is 'not easy.'The students’ essays on this topic were excellent." Don Riesett “It’s not easy being an African American Muslim. The many obligations, traditions, values, and holidays I have to go by. The way people take a glance and judge me.” Mohamed Read more: https://tcshighschool.org/its-not-easy-by-mohamed-cisse/ “It’s not easy being the oldest brother in a household where the parents only speak Spanish.” Hector Read more: https://tcshighschool.org/its-not-easy-by-hector-rivas/ “It’s not easy being diagnosed with depression and anxiety at just 13 years old.” Jordan Read more: https://tcshighschool.org/its-not-easy-by-jordan-smith/ “Starting a new community isn’t easy.

Teri Henderson, Lisa Snowden and Sanya Kamidi joined us for our Conversation this week. They are responsible for the Baltimore Beat, a unique local newspaper. They shared their experiences producing the paper, especially as women of color. This nonprofit free paper is produced every two weeks and seeks to give voice to those in Baltimore whose voice is often not heard. The conversation explored their educational and career paths as well as the mission and operation of the paper. The students shared the kind of stories they would most like to see covered and the need for youth voices to be amplified. We appreciate having these trailblazers join us!...

Budgeting was the topic of the 1st Financial Literacy Seminar of the year.  This monthly seminar is sponsored, staffed and developed under the capable direction of Kathleen Gower, by Berman McAeer (BMc), a wealth management company.  Nearly all of the staff at BMc come in on a rotating basis throughout the year to assist in the teaching.  This month Deanna Heid and Amy McAuliffe Cooper joined Kathleen serving a delicious lunch and then teaching the class. The students learned the basics of budgeting and setting short and long term goals. For the next few class, they are to track all of their expenses - both the ones they pay for directly and that are provided for them. This will be used as a basis for the next seminar. This is learning an essential life skill that the students take all four years at TCS with the goal of helping them make informed choices in their future financial lives.  We deeply appreciate the folks at Berman McAleer for making this possible!...
