Mayor Rawlings-Blake is a regular visitor at BCP's three neighborhood charter schools. In August she visited City Springs Elementary/Middle School to kick off the new school year. She visited Wolfe Street Academy in October to congratulate students on their outstanding attendance and again in November to speak at the school's Lights On Afterschool event. Last March the Mayor held a press conference at Hampstead Hill Academy.
