Tonight, the first two student-sponsor meetings of the new year were held.  Each of these new students and their families displayed such eagerness and enthusiasm for their future at The Community School.  It is a reminder of the great potential that exists in our youth, their families, and our community.  We are not a big school, but I wouldn't trade this new group of students for any others.  It's going to be a terrific year!...

We are excited to announce that incoming 9th grader Dyrrell Moon has been awarded a full scholarship to participate in the 2014 High School Conservatory at Single Carrot Theatre.  This theatre group is newly located in our home community of Remington and has been in conversation with The Community School for months about how our organizations can work together. The conservatory is a two week program whose purpose is "to enrich young actors with the building blocks needed to become well-rounded theatre artists." We are very thankful to Jessica Garrett and all of the folks at Single Carrot Theatre.  Congratulations Dyrrell!...

The Board of Trustees of The Community School met last night to review the evaluations of the 2013/2014 school year. These included evaluations of the school by students, sponsors, and staff volunteers as well as student self-evaluations.  This activity has been an important part of the planning process in the school for over 3 decades. It is another way that the students, families and staff have significant input into the operation of the school.  The Board includes 2 former students and 3 former sponsors and has a combined history with the school of over 174 years! The Trustees also adopted a budget for next year, approved the school calendar and reworked the sponsor program for the school. We're all looking forward to an even better new school year....

Just one year ago the students took a trip of a lifetime to the Southwest.  It was an amazing journey, beginning with the whole community effort to raise money to send the students to the welcoming into their homes and communities of our many friends in that part of the country.  It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.  You can read about the journey in the booklet that was produced after we came back. Part 1  Part 2  Part 3  Part 4  Part 5  Part 6  Part 7  Part 8...

The Community School is deeply appreciative for the students from Johns Hopkins University who have been helping us this year. We will really miss tutors Alex Polyak and Noah Saganski who will both be graduating next week and have each been with TCS for the last 3 years. We want to wish tutor Hemen Muleta well as she studies abroad and will return to us for her 3rd year next January.  Thanks also to tutor Sarah Krasnik for her help this semester. Sarah will be assisting us this summer before also studying abroad. Special thanks go to all of the terrific volunteers from JHU-Community School Initiative.  Thank you Bryan Brensinger, Quenton Bubb, Gaby Frid, Lydia Hellwig, Deanna Loh, Andrew Mao, Becca Obniski, Simon Pan, Kathryn Rees, and Joseph Sloan.

Thanks to our friends at The Johns Hopkins University - Community School Initiative (JHU-CSI), the students had the opportunity to tour one of the labs in the new wing of the Mudd Building. Dr. Carolyn Fitch generously shared her time explaining the use of the equipment, lab procedures, and experiments that take place in the lab.  The students also had a chance to see some of the high tech equipment in action and they were particularly amazed at the use of liquid nitrogen to freeze protein pellets that had been isolated in the main lab.  It was an amazing experience to tour with the enthusiastic Dr. Fitch and we are thankful for the opportunity. Special thanks to CSI members Deanna Loh for setting up this experience and to Rebecca Obniski and Joseph Sloan for touring with us.  We look forward to another year of weekly labs with JHU-CSI....

Councilwoman Mary Pat Clarke brought Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake by the school today so the mayor could become familiar with our work.  There were students, alumni, volunteers, staff, and college support program participants present for the occasion. In addition to learning about the school, there was a discussion about the need to extend support for students who are going to the county to attend community college and are forced to pay higher rates. The students had an opportunity to speak about what the school means to them and Mary Pat spoke about why TCS is important to Baltimore. Tom Culotta gave the history of the organization and explained our mission and program. It is our hope that this is the beginning of a dialogue that will benefit young people, the community and the school for many years to come....
