Another Kind of Learning

On Tuesday, July 22nd, 9th graders visited BIC (Baltimore International College). BIC trains students for careers in culinary arts and/or hotel management -- the dorms are in the student-run Mt. Vernon Hotel. Students can earn associate's and bachelor's degrees in addition to gaining certificated skills that make them employable around the world. BIC also offers programs which articulate with Baltimore high schools. Lab (cooking) classes run in twenty-four day cycles; they start at 7 am and finish with LUNCH! Next time we visit, we'll start later so we can get to enjoy what the students prepare.

Radio Days

Selected 9th graders spent two half days July 15-16 at WLOY, the Loyola College radio station learning how to create, record and mix radio spots. They will air July 19-20 and July 26-27. WLOY staff and students direct a percentage of their fund-raising efforts to FSK. Rumor has it that plans are being aired about starting a radio station at FSK!
