[caption id="attachment_2375" align="alignleft" width="321"] Ben Lyons teaching Financial Literacy Course[/caption] Learning the ins and outs of finance, is the thrust of a new seminar course led by Ben Lyons.  The twice monthly seminar is titled Financial Literacy and was initiated after a chance meeting between Mr. Lyons and a group of the students at a Ravens game in December.  If you walked into class today you'd hear terms such as equity and leverage used as students were encouraged to both understand the world of finance and become empowered to maneuver through it.

Getting a job is on most of the students' minds and plans. Amanda Rothchild, co-owner of Charmington's coffee shop in Remington, joined Randi Seymur, front end manager at Giant Foods 41st Street location, to speak to the class as part of our monthly Job Readiness Seminar. They generously shared their personal and diverse experience with the students at the invitation of seminar instructors Peggy Lashbrook and George Tilson. The students were full of questions about pay, working conditions, qualifications, openings, job satisfaction and even issues on the job.  They learned about the journey Randi and Amanda took to get to their careers. It was a great discussion that gave the students many ideas about weekend work during the school year, summer jobs, and future possibilities. We keep growing the network for the students and school!  If you have ideas or opportunities, let us know....

What an experience students from The Community School had today!  The class spent the morning at Baltimore City Hall starting off with a tour, meeting the Mayor, President of the City Council, City Comptroller, Finance Director and a host of other elected and government officials. During a Board of Estimates meeting, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake took time from the agenda to speak about the long history of The Community School and congratulating the students on their achievements. After a tour with the City Hall curator, the students went to work in City Council Chambers where City Councilwoman Mary Pat Clarke conducted the last session in her Baltimore seminar continuing the class that the students have had with her for the past several weeks. The students had two mock sessions where they exchanged roles as city council members and citizens presenting testimony. Special thanks to Council President Jack Young for taking the time to talk with the students and for making an on-the-spot major contribution to the school. We are beyond grateful to have Councilwoman Mary Pat Clarke as a part of the school for so many years and for setting up this unique and amazing experience....
