Arcadia High School 9/11 Tribute
Nearly 4,000 Arcadia High students and staff observed a moment of silence to pay tribute to the 9/11 anniversary.
This is the only time each year all Arcadia High students and staff come together as an entire school for the all-school assembly which is traditionally held on 9/11.
A special thanks to the Arcadia Police Department, Arcadia Fire Department, and the United States Marine Corps who were on hand and were recognized for their great service to our country and community.

The mission of Rosemary Children’s Services is to help children, adolescents and families heal from their pasts and move toward productive and fulfilling futures, by providing the highest quality of therapeutic support, education and permanency planning. In 1920, The Shakespeare Club of Pasadena founded Rosemary Children’s Services, which has reached thousands of children and their families through comprehensive programs, including a Residential Treatment Program, Mental Health Services, Non-Public School, Foster Care and Adoption Placement Services, Transitional Housing Program and Therapeutic Behavioral Services.
The Green House Guild is a group of volunteers within The Shakespeare Club, who have “adopted” The Green House Residential Home. All money raised by The Green House Guild is used to pay for much needed activities and supplies for the foster girls of The Green House, located in Pasadena.

Inaugural Valet Parking Service at Taste of Arcadia Sept. 28
Parking for 1,500 attendees, including several hundred vendors and entertainers, is always at a premium and the main entrance lot fills up quickly, after which attendees are directed to park across the street at Santa Anita Park’s Gate 7 and walk or ride a tram back to the main entrance.
This year, Arcadia-based Power Valet, a member of the Arcadia Chamber of Commerce, will offer valet parking service to any attendees for $7, with drop-off in the main parking lot just a few feet from the entrance to the event, which will not only make arrivals much easier for patrons but also provide a major convenience as attendees leave in the dark.
