Terrorism Safety

Three major things to do if you’re caught in a terrorist attack; by the U.K National Counter Terrorism Security Officers.


Step by step instructions to reduce the number of potential casualties.


  1. Run- if you have the option of escaping, it will always be the safest option.
  2. Hide- Just because you can't see them doesn't mean they can't see you.
  3. Silence your phone- Avoid drawing any attention to yourself.


The guidelines do NOT suggest playing dead, you are 25% less likely to survive that way than running. While one Parisian woman was successful, statistically, that isn't always reliable.

Things to Bake for Good Photo-Ops

With Thanksgiving coming around the corner, it is important to remember not everyone can actually cook! But no need to feel left out!! There are baked things that may taste wretched but look super cute. This is called a photo opportunity, you  can photograph your disaster maybe wearing an apron. One of these these opportunities are cakes and baked goods. Generally keep away from meats and lean towards pastries. Pastries are going to look good and be a good picture even if you screw up the recipe it will still look excellent on camera and you’ll never be able to tell they are rancid.

The Monrovia High School Drama program put on An Evening with the Sherman Brothers for the teachers on Wednesday and an actual performance on Thursday. The show is a combination of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Mary Poppins, The Aristocats, and The Jungle Book. Both shows went exceedingly well, despite the broken mirror on Wednesday! The room was nearly packed on Thursday and thunderous applause erupted afterwards. If you missed it, don’t worry! The drama team is doing a show on Saturday at 7:00 pm and on Sunday at 2:00 pm. Come on down and see how “truly scrumptious” the show is!
