Looking for Meal Prep Services
Hi there! I’m pregnant and working full-time, so I’m looking to delegate some tasks to save time and money.
I’m specifically looking for someone who can prepare healthy and delicious meals (preferably organic and non-GMO). The meals should be reasonably priced and mainly for lunch, so I can take them to work and cut some fruits. I’d also appreciate a variety of options, so I don’t have to eat the same chicken and rice every day.
I’m open to local small businesses or even individuals who cook well and are looking for an extra source of income instead of relying on services like Hello Fresh and similar.
I’m located in San Dimas.
Insights on East Asian students transitioning to Rowland/Hacienda Heights public high schools?
I have relatives in East Asia planning to send their US-citizen children back to the States to attend public high school in the Rowland Heights, or surrounding East San Gabriel Valley areas. These kids have spent their entire lives schooling in Asia, but they do have a sufficient working knowledge of English from their education there.
To be completely frank, the kids are possibly not highly motivated, self-sufficient, or top-tier academically. Their parents are simply hoping a local US public school will provide a "better" path. I am a few decades removed from high school myself, and since these local districts (like Rowland Unified, Walnut Valley, or Hacienda La Puente) can be highly competitive, I’m looking for a reality check.
For anyone who has observed students make this specific move from abroad: What has been your experience with how kids like this thrive or struggle?
Note: The family is of modest financial means, and it’s still unconfirmed if the parents will be coming along to provide day-to-day oversight and parental responsibility. Any modern insights on the social, cultural, or academic adjustments would be incredibly helpful.

Be Alert
Be alert! This individual walked onto my property at 6am this morning and checked for locks, looked through windows, pried open my mailbox and looked for lights and security cameras. He also walked up with an electronic device with a wire in his hands. Tried to partially pull a cloth to cover his face when he noticed cameras. Located in Rosemead area near Walmart on Walnut Grove. Police department has been notified. Please advise if you've seen him before. Thank you.
