There is nothing like a hearty, home-cooked Italian meal! The students are always excited to have the generous members of ACIM here, and enjoyed some of their delicious pasta this Thursday. Margurita Mazza, Dennis Loehr, Jean Gallo, and Valerie Meola brought the food and stayed for conversation during lunch. The women of ACIM actually visited two weeks ago as well ahead of the final space lab, gifting the students with NASA jackets and key chains. Thank you ACIM for your continued support and involvement in the school!...

Representation matters. That’s exactly why Dyrrell Moon, TCS class of ‘17, presented today on his study abroad experience. As a student of Howard University, Dyrrell believes that once one sees someone from their kind of experience doing something like traveling, they can believe that it can happen for them, too. Dyrrell is an International Affairs major and spent his time abroad working with the European Union. He presented a slideshow of the places he studied and what he learned about European trade and governance. The students asked questions about Brexit, which Dyrrell was able to learn about first-hand, and what it’s like traveling in foreign countries. It’s wonderful for the students to be able to hear about the success of a recent graduate!...

Maximize your time with the good ones- this was the closing piece of advice today from our discussion with George Tilson. The “Conversation With” series attempts to do just that- to maximize the student’s time with people who are great examples of success. George Tilson of course is no exception. Dr. Tilson is a career development expert and disability specialist. He is also a playwright, creating shows such as the musical Boundless!, a collection of stories about Delawareans with disabilities. Dr. Tilson’s discussion was in the form of a brainstorm session, engaging in snippets of thoughts and exercises that tie in with personal success. To demonstrate creativity in action, the students teamed up to come up with features that they would add to a Swiss Army knife. Then, they went around the room describing things that they were surprised about their learning experience this year, as well as things they have taught others recently. Dr. Tilson then discussed with the students what it physically feels like when they are feeling anxious, angry or sad, and demonstrated different coping mechanisms such as breathing techniques and posture. The discussion wrapped up with with Dr. Tilson sharing a few things that he has learned over the years- four C’s. Have a champion in your life and be a champion for others, make connections, success is a upward cascade of effects, and always maintain courage in everything you do. What a great interactive workshop!...

Our students are never afraid to reach for the stars! For the past couple of months, the students have been using their problem solving skills to design a space rover that can fulfill a mission to a given planet or moon. With the guidance of Elaine Lewis of NASA Goddard, the students have researched their location, planned the type of of equipment needed to complete the mission, and created a rover that can adapt to the conditions of the location. Today was the culmination of their hard work. The groups presented on their mission and showed off their rover designs. Aiden, Jordan, and Destiny made a rover to explore Titan, a moon of Saturn. Neenah, Ronan, Sara, and Claude planned to land a rover on the icy surface of Pluto. Tyleiah, Sean, Donald, and Garrett designed a rover to investigate the scorching surface of Venus. Finally, Olivia, Jacob, and Salma explored Neptune’s moon Triton with their rover designed to send out a probe to retrieve samples. Congratulations on your research and ingenuity, everyone!    ...

Under the sea and in the trees at the National Aquarium! Lead by our Hopkins CSI volunteers, the students toured the aquarium today to learn about various ecosystems and animals. The Hopkins students taught facts about the animals along the way and asked the students questions. They even got to sit in on the rehearsal for the dolphin show. “I liked the trip to the aquarium. For my first time, it was really interesting to see all the fishes they had in the exhibits. I was really surprised to see that they have a rainforest exhibit within the building. I didn’t expect to see some sloths and spiders in an aquarium. Also, the CSI Lab students did well in explaining some things about some of the species. I liked talking to Walter about the environmental movement started by Rachel Carson because I have heard of her before, but I didn’t know much about what she really did,” said sophomore Claude. This field trip wraps up the CSI science labs for the year. Many thanks to the Johns Hopkins students for an exciting year of hands-on learning!...

How often do you get to see history in the making? Our fortunate Government class witnessed just that Monday night on their trip to Baltimore City Council. The students attended a council meeting, wherein the council voted for the new council president- Brandon Scott of the 2nd district. The students then were part of a small group of people present in the Mayor’s ceremony room to see Mr. Scott sworn in by new Mayor Jack Young. In addition to watching history happen, Mary Pat Clarke honored The Community School during the council meeting, detailing the history of TCS and explaining what makes our school so special. The students stood for everyone and were acknowledged with applause. After the meeting and swearing-in ceremony, the class took a tour of the whole building. As they were getting ready to leave, they found newly elected Council President Brandon Scott and had the opportunity to speak with him as well. Overall it was an incredible, special visit that we won’t forget. ...

Speak up, speak clearly! This is the advice with which Delegate Regina Boyce began her talk this Friday, letting the students know that when you meet someone you want to leave a strong impression. Make them know who you are, Delegate Boyce says. Delegate Boyce is a busy, accomplished woman- as the director of a nonprofit adult education program as well as a member of our state House of Delegates. She took some time from her busy schedule to speak with the students about how she came to run for office, what delegates do, and the art of negotiation. She answered the student’s hard-hitting questions about her work with the Environment and Transportation committee, what makes a good employee, and her opinion of the recent developments with both the change in the Speaker of the House and the Baltimore Mayor. We are grateful for Delegate Boyce’s direct, honest discussion!...
