Monrovia Students Return to School and Leaders Host Stormwater Forum

Ellen Zunino August 21, 2013 at 07:50 PM I have old friends in Wisconsin and they report that temperatures are falling as Fall approaches. But that's the upper Mid-West. What's with CA schools starting the school year during the hottest part of the summer? Does the district enjoy paying the $$$ for all the extra days of running the air conditioning? It's not pleasant walking home from school in the heat and trying to think and do homework in a hot, unairconditioned house is awful. School used to begin in the middle, even the 3rd week of September and end during the 3rd week of June - you remember June, the month with all the cloudy, drizzly mornings and cool, overcast days. Why not let the kids continue swimming, playing in the sprinklers or just sitting in a shady, cool spot during August and hold them in school through the mellow days of June?

Monrovia PD Offers Back to School Safety Tips
Lizkolberg August 22, 2013 at 12:20 AM Please will someone tell the kids at Santa Fe how to cross the street. There were 17 cars backed up because those kids went across peck two or three at a time and two feet apart. Can someone please teach them to have some consideration for others and cross together and at a swifter pace

The slow walking on purpose in front of your car thing is rage inducing UNLESS you have this in your arsenal.....fill a squirt gun with a really smelly alcohol like tequila and squirt the little jerks. Try explaining to your parents why you smell like a dive bar you little creeps. LOL! ( I know this is illegal and not OK to do but it's fun for me to think about....)
