What is Somerville’s plan for the Winter Hill Community Innovation School?

By Audrey Peel | November 4

Since the Winter Hill Community Innovation School closed in June 2023 after a piece of concrete fell from the ceiling, students have been relocated across the city, continuing their education in temporary spaces. It has been a long journey for the children and their families. After missing four days of school, students were divided among the Capuano Early Childhood Center, Olin Hall at Tufts University and the former Edgerly Education Center. The student body was reunited last fall in the Edgerly building at 8 Bonair St., where they have remained since.

Addressing the uphill battle of safety, accessibility on campus

By Audrey Peel | February 6

It is undeniable that Tufts’ infamously hilly campus is challenging to navigate. Try as students might, an uphill trek is nearly unavoidable. The pedestrian experience is a part of day-to-day life here on campus. While many pedestrian safety issues go unnoticed by students in the chaos of each day, this was not the case for junior Anand Patil, when he took his first steps at Tufts as a first-year in 2022.

By Audrey Peel | April 11

Spring Fling, Tufts’ annual outdoor concert, will take place on Sat., April 20 this year. The prefinals celebration was first created in 1980 thanks to a surplus in the Tufts Community Union Senate budget that year. In its inaugural year, Spring Fling included a picnic, a concert, a 10k race and seminars. Since then, the annual event has evolved into a staple of campus life.

Get ready to trot: 3,200 runners join Somerville’s Gobble Gobble Gobble Turkey Trot on Thursday

By Audrey Peel | November 21

For many, Thanksgiving morning means layering up, lacing up and heading to the starting line. The Turkey Trot, a Thanksgiving day race, has spread in both popularity and size throughout the United States. With many runners showing up in festive costumes, these events are a spectacle for racers and non-racers alike. When did this unique tradition begin? The first Turkey Trot was hosted in Buffalo, New York in 1896. Starting off with only six participants, the Buffalo trot has grown exponentially, hosting an impressive 14,000 runners about 125 years later. According to their organizers, YMCA Buffalo Niagara, their race is the oldest consecutively-run footrace in North America.
