As part of our celebration of Women's History, we watched a documentary about the origins of the modern women's liberation movement. She's Beautiful When She's Angry is an excellent source on thee various challenges that women faced as second class citizens in society and the steps taken to make change toward a more just society. It not only exposed the students to this period in American history but also on how movements get started often with small numbers of people who have the courage and vision to stand up. After watching the film, the students commented on the impact it had on them and how the struggle for equality is an ongoing challenge....

We kicked off our volunteer day in celebration of Neumann University with a special greeting by university President Dr. Chris Domes and his wife Mary. In line with its values, Neumann is celebrating its 60th anniversary with a pledge to perform 60,000 hours of service. Today, at the campus, volunteers set a goal of making 30,000 meals to distribute to the community while at TCS we had a project to create a pleasant seating area and flower gardens around the school. The Community School has a relationship with Neumann University that goes back over 10 years, and we will forever be grateful for the support they have extended to our school and students. Our thanks to the students, families, sponsors and alumni for lending a hand and especially Ruth Evelyn "Susie" Schmidt for co-ordinating the planting part of the project. Special thanks to Hillcrest Nursery for donating the flowers, Ms. Kathleen for donating a bench and to all of those who donated money, items and time to make this day successful.

We were honored to have Jellema Stewart come in for a Conversation today representing the Johns Hopkins University Center for Social Concern.

It was an enlightening conversation for all. Our school has had a relationship with the Center for Social Concern since its inception.  Currently,  they make it possible for Johns Hopkins students Maneeza and Haithem to support the school as part of the work study program.  We appreciate Jellema's visit and the support we receive from JHU-CSC.  ...

Our monthly session at The Lyric was a music session with musician Antonio Eyez. Antonio shared about his musical journey growing up in a musical family to becoming a professional musician.  He shared his inspirations including Jimi Hendrix and Prince and asked the students about who inspires them. The students did entries in their journals expressing their reactions to what's troubling them and then several read their words to Antonio's musical accompaniment.  In the second part of the session, Lyric Education Specialist Ebony Evans had the students break into groups, grab costumes and produce a musical video skit.  Everyone had a terrific time unleashing their creativity and learning from Antonio. Our appreciation to Denise Gantt, Ebony Evans and The Lyric for providing so many opportunities for our students over the years. A special thanks to Antonio Eyez for accompanying us on so many of these sessions, but especially for the musical journey he took us on today.  ...

The students unanimously voted to create a volunteer opportunity for Friday, March 14th starting at 1:30 in the afternoon. This is in conjunction with Neumann University's goal of 60,000 service hours in celebration of their 60th anniversary. TCS has had a close relationship with Neumann since we became a state certified high school, and it is where Mr. Tom earned his degree. On the 14th, we will work on the outside of the building painting, potting and planting as well as putting together benches, seating areas and more. We welcome all volunteers, just let us know you're coming. You can also help by donating toward the purchase of plants and benches. We want to add 2 heavy duty benches for the front of the building and they cost $300 each. You can send a check to the school or donate online here: https://tcshighschool.org/donations/generalsupport/ You could also help by supplying snacks and beverages for the volunteers. Thank you!...
