Second Annual HS Roadtrip




There are more than three high schools of choice in Baltimore, and it is important that the MGP Summer Scholars get a taste of some of the possibilities. On Monday, October 12th, students from FSK had an opportunity to visit two innovative Baltimore high schools New Era Academy and ACCE.
At New Era students are called scholars, jazz plays between classes, and crew is offered at the Baltimore Rowing Club -- www.newera.net.
At ACCE students go to internships on Thursdays instead of school getting a clear understanding of what the world of work is like -- www.accebaltimore.com.
Remember HS Night for MGP students at FSK will be on Thursday, November 19th in the cafeteria.

High School Night at Calvert


The After School Program started on September 29th and 30th. MGP program students were invited to Calvert School on October 6th to participate in their High School Night where Baltimore independent schools and out-of-the area boarding schools had representatives available to talk to interested students. Eighth grader Symone Jackson and her mother came straight from the soccer field to speak with representatives from RPCS, Oldfields, St. Timothy's (shown here) and City among others. On Monday, October 12th, MGP students will be going on the second annual High School Roadtrip. High School will again be our focus on November 19th when there will be a high school night for us (AND pizza) in the cafeteria at FSK starting at 5:30 pm. Please let Mr. B. know if you will be coming.
