School district warns of scam email targeting students and school staff
The Monrovia School District is warning the community to beware of a scam aimed at students and staff of various school districts, including Monrovia's. The scam is disguised as communications regarding "student internship opportunities."
"Some of these emails may even seem to be sent from compromised @monroviaschools.net student or staff accounts. While there is currently no evidence of a breach of vital data or systems, it is important to always remain vigilant."

Eeyore looking for a quiet home with kind people
Meet Eeyore, a gentle guy searching for safety, patience, and peace. This 5-year-old gray pit bull came to Pasadena Humane as a stray and has been slowly learning to trust again. While he hasn’t yet felt ready to emerge from his Hundred Acre Wood (his kennel), Eeyore has shown incredible softness with familiar people. He loves to greet those he loves with tail wags, gentle kisses, and a love for head scratches. Oh, and don’t forget the hot dogs! His journey is unfolding one small, brave step at a time, and each breakthrough is a testament to the loving dog beneath the uncertainty.
Eeyore will need a quiet, low-traffic home with patient, understanding humans who can go at his pace. While he’s not ready for too much just yet, he is ready for kindness – for someone who will sit with him, offer treats, and celebrate every small win. In the right home, with time and care, we believe Eeyore will blossom beautifully.
The adoption fee for dogs is $150. All dog adoptions include spay or neuter, microchip, and age-appropriate vaccines.
Walk-in adoptions are available every day from 10:00 – 5:00. View photos of adoptable pets at pasadenahumane.org.
New adopters will receive a complimentary health-and-wellness exam from VCA Animal Hospitals, as well as a goody bag filled with information about how to care for your pet.
Pets may not be available for adoption and cannot be held for potential adopters by phone calls or email.
