From “Diaper Derby” in the 70’s to annual high school student scholarships, the Fillmore Women’s Service Club has supported the youth of Fillmore. FWSC members realized that Fillmore teachers deserved their support and recognition also. Over the years, the FWSC has recognized outstanding teachers at local schools with book awards. Purchasing books from the teachers selected list and donating them to their library, in their honor. FWSC realized that teachers spend a lot of “out of pocket” money for classroom projects and supplies to enhance their curriculum. Often, the budget does not reimburse them. Over the last 10 years, FWSC decided tc donate money or gift certificates to the elementary teachers to purchase classroom supplies or provide funds for a special project. This year on January 7th, the Fillmore Women’s Service Club presented their “Teacher Appreciation Awards” oi $50 each to the twenty-four teachers at Mountain Vista Elementary School, as a way of saying thank you for their commitment to the students of Fillmore Unified School District. Fillmore Women’s Service Club members work hard to earn thousands of dollars necessary every year to grant scholarships for students in Fillmore and your support is greatly appreciated. Meetings are held the second Wednesday of the month at the Fillmore Senior Center at 7:00 p.m. New members are always welcome.
