The Book Drive
During the waning weeks of April, most students at Rutgers Prep scramble for that evasive tenth hour of community service, heading hastily towards the Special Olympics, Folk Festivals, and the like. Alyssa Coiro ’12 does it a bit differently.

31. May 2010
Almost every student in the school has some ideas of what events they want to happen in their time in the Upper School. Some want dances, others free food, others dress down days. One organization, however, does more than think; they plan. This organization is, of course, School Council.

31. May 2010
With the summer approaching quickly, I wanted to be sure that there was an article in the section directly related to it. Although everyone loves summer for different reasons, I think it is fair to say that one common element of summer that everyone loves is food.

When one thinks of fantastic cupcakes, a trio of famous competitors comes to mind: Sprinkles, Crumbs, and most deliciously, Magnolia.

In the morning, Tía Fiona tears open old bossa nova records, removes them from boxes labeled with each of our names. When the confetti falls outside, she plays a different song for each of us, her four dear grandnieces – allows the sound of slurred Portuguese to slowly saturate into her aged pores, sinking.
