On the sunny afternoon of Saturday, Oct. 18, 2025, around 2,500 "No Kings" protests took place across the nation. Locally, over a thousand demonstrators gathered around the government center located in Ventura, Calif. The atmosphere was energetic, with loud music blaring over speakers and car horns sounding in support. The protests were organized in response to recent policies from the Trump administration, which organizers described as government overreach.

Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood featured a haunted house maze themed around the three-movie Terrifier franchise, one of the most popular horror movie series in the past 10 years. Art the Clown, the black-and-white slasher of the films, has exploded in popularity, too. At the event, the Terrifier maze was full of Art the Clown scare actors interacting with brutal scenes from the movies as well as original creations. The walkthrough was immersive, with scented rooms and water effects to mimic blood squirting. Although the Terrifier house is one of the busiest throughout the night, there are seven other mazes, rides, scare zones and lots of fun to be had at Halloween Horror Nights.

Many non-profit organizations in Ventura offer Foothill Technology High School (Foothill Tech) students a variety of opportunities to get involved in projects that may unlock new passions and career pathways.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a nationally recognized global movement to raise awareness for breast cancer and encourage early detection through screening. Lasting annually through the duration of October, it dates back to 1985, when the first organized attempt to put the subject in national light within the United States was made through a deal between the American Cancer Society and Imperial Chemical Industries. This deal entailed establishing a week-long awareness week that eventually turned into a whole month of promoting early detection, routine screening, research and supporting breast cancer survivors. Since then, the campaigns have multiplied greatly, and the pink ribbon has become a powerful symbol of support for those who have fought breast cancer. On Oct. 15, 2025, HOSA members within the Bioscience Academy at Foothill Tech organized and held trivia games and other activities to help spread awareness and support.
