Seminars

We were all honored today to have Wendel Patrick come to our school to share his art and work as well as stories about his life.  Mr. Patrick teaches at the famed Peabody Music Conservatory and has performed and lectured around the world. Students were able to experience his work on the renowned "Out of the Block" series from public radio as well as his music and a special video he produced with jazz saxophonist Scott Paddock. Mr. Patrick encouraged the students to think about themselves and how they spend their time with this challenging quote, "Whatever you spend your time doing, that's what you are." Everyone was so engaged with this conversation that it went well beyond the time set aside, so Mr. Patrick is coming in again on Monday morning for a wrap up where the students get to speak about the impact of his presentation. Wendell was invited to the school by TCS Trustee Fleesie Hubbard who also attended the seminar. You can check out Mr. Patrick's website by clicking this link WendelPatrick.com...

The students were honored to host author D. Watkins at the school today.  His visit followed the reading and discussion of his book: The Beast Side: Living and Dying While Black in America by Year 2 students over the last month. Mr. Watkins talked about growing up in Baltimore from a neighborhood African-American perspective and the lessons learned along the way.  The students enjoyed his relaxed style and plain language as well as his stories whether it was because he gave voice to their lives or because he introduced them to a side of Baltimore they didn't fully know. D expressed a lot of interest in the students and the school and committed to coming back and working with the students next year.  We appreciate Justin Switzer for setting this up and also were pleased to have Evan Green, Quenton Bubb, and Miko Veldkamp join us for this discussion....

We were fortunate to have Lindsay Roemer and her team of peer educators back at the school today.  CJ, Serena, and Lindsay did a presentation on "Consent and Boundaries." This seminar examined the critically important issues regarding respecting a person's boundaries when it comes to sex and also how to make sure that there your partner is fully consenting to sexual activity.  The class watched a terrific short video entitled "Consent: It's as Simple as Tea." This was followed by a series of exercises and a discussion.  We appreciate our growing relationship with the youth education team at Planned Parenthood....
