Week 5 – Agents of SHIELD

Hi Everyone!

The mid-semester break is close, and what better way to celebrate your upcoming freedom than with Spocksoc? Spocksoc returns the world of superheroes, aliens, secret agents and the many faces of Stan Lee with Marvel’s Agents of Shield:

For those of you who have never seen the show (or are not clearance level 7), following the alien invasion of New York, S.H.I.E.L.D. (Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division) sets up a small team to investigate superhuman and supervillain activity. Coulson’s team must now cope with the aftermath of betrayal within the ranks, and by a member of their team, while old enemies seek to destroy S.H.I.E.L.D. for good.

We’ll also be holding a movie outing this Monday to see the new Cinderella movie. Have your fairy godmother conjure you a pumpkin carriage to get you to the Ritz!

Finally, thank you to those who helped make last week’s bake sale a success.

Until next time,
Sarah.
