Today students discussed what people across the world were seeing of Baltimore.  They were sad to think that some people only know of the riots and looting that took place in our city.  In response, they created artwork of what they wanted the world to know about Baltimore.  They drew pictures, wrote poems, and made paintings of their favorite places in Baltimore and what they believe is #theRealBaltimore.
