School

Last updated Monday, May 21, 2012 - 11:01am

In elementary school, everyone looks forward to Pajama Day -- the rare opportunity to be completely comfy in class and pretend that the entire school is having a slumber party.

However, many students continue to host their own unofficial and intermittent Pajama Days during their high school years, showing up for class in their favorite pair of jammies, with the occasional fuzzy blankie in tow.

OGDEN — As the sound of tremors spread across MarLon Hills Elementary School around 10:15 a.m. Tuesday, students in Felicia Bedwell’s fourth-grade class ducked under their desks and held on.

After a minute, Bedwell ushered her students into the hallway as other classrooms emptied out. When they heard another rumbling sound, the children crouched against the wall.

After a few more tremor sounds and more crouching, all of the children in the school lined up in a designated area outside to be counted.

With portraits of school children behind him, Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent John Deasy takes his seat following a closed-door meeting of the Board of Education in downtown Los Angeles Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2012.
