Comic Book Paradise!

By Nicholas Alicea

Newbury Comics, located in “The Garage” in Harvard Square, is haven for comic nerds or any curious human (and other species, as well) strolling by. Items in this store vary from: comics, action figures, cool pins, video games, movies, clothing, instruments etc. Once you step inside this store, you will think you’ve seen the light!!! (In a good way) One of my favorite parts of the store is the poster section, there are many variations of posters from “old school” to new, to comic books and tv shows. I will GUARANTEE, when you walk in this store, you will love it (if not... just get out!),

The Bizarro Questions of Ryan S.

The Bizarro Questions of Ryan S.

On our trip to Harvard University we met with Ms. Donoghue’s old principal, Dr. Stephen Mahoney, who gave us a private tour of Harvard. I asked a bunch of questions, like, “Can you have a pet in the dorm?”, No. “How will they find out if you have a pet?”, Somebody reports it. “Do the dorm rooms have drop down ceilings?”, Interesting question.

I saw a campus police officer, and asked “How fast can your segway go?”, 25mph, when it was new, but the battery is old . “Could I outrun it?” Probably, but for a short while, you get tired it does not.

This is why I will probably not be allowed to attend Harvard University in the future. Well, that, and my tendency to make weird jungle noises during class when I’m supposed to be on task.

Haaaaavard Yaaaaaad by Robert Anglin and Brendan McDonough In our travel group, we went on yet another awesome field trip!!! This time we took a tour of one of the most prestigious colleges around. We had a phenomenal educator/ tour guide named Dr. Steve Mahoney. We went to Harvard University Graduate School of Education in Cambridge Massachusetts. One place that we visited was the famous Harvard Yard. In this section of the Harvard Yard there was a statue of John Harvard with a “golden” left foot (well its not golden it’s more like bronze...p.s. when you rub the foot it’s good luck :)There is a library dedicated to a victim of the Titanic named was Harry Elkins Widener. The only downside was that I could not, in fact, Pahk my cah in Harvard Yard ...because I don’t own a car.

Travels in Harvard Square 11/2/15 

Today we joined my colleague and friend, Dr. Steve Mahoney, for a lively tour of Haaaavad (where "King" LeBron James may pay a visit soon! Stay tuned). Dr. Mahoney gave us the insider tour of the Graduate School of Education and Harvard Yard, and captivated us with great stories (while also successfully navigating Ryan's barrage of thoughtful- and sometimes pecuilar- questions).

And we went to a graveyard. A really cool, old graveyard from the 1600's.

Many thanks to Dr. Mahoney for his time and energy, and to the students for REPRESENTING the Henderson as scholars and as responsible, curious citizens.  Looking very sharp in those uniforms! 

(High school students interested in participating in the group should stop by Ms. Donoghue's room (203) on Monday afternoons, to see what it's all about.)

The Wonderful Travels Of The North End Of Boston

By Robert Anglin,

Blogger extraordinaire/rapper

Welcome to Boston! Home of the historic Revolutionary War! In our new found travel group, we discovered many new things up in the North End in Boston we traveled throughout looking around at the wonders of the area. We checked out the Paul Revere house-we would’ve taken pictures for you guys to view but we were not allowed to take pictures in the house. There were a lot of old things- and I don’t mean old like 50’s, I mean old like an uncle on thanksgiving who eats all of the stuffing and naps all the time and doesn’t remember what happened the day after.

There are a lot of different streets to go up and down and a lot of interesting places to look at. We walked into a classic pastry store to stop for a break. You wouldn’t believe the smells! Brendan even smashed a cannoli in his bag... it was kind of my fault lol! After that, we went in the Old North Church there were many amazing things there (see photo below). Finally, we went to Pizzeria Regina where we had delicious cheese pizza, loaded with cheese! This pizza parlor is really special because it's the first Pizzeria Regina ever built.
