blank. If you are out of time, guess. Ask yourself, “What is the question asking me?”

Fillmore High School has approved a new club for the students, The "S" Club. The "S" Club of Fillmore High School 's objectives are: 1.To be of service to the school and community. 2. To cooperate with school authorities in creating a school environment with high standards and ideals. 3. To prepare members to assume leadership in the business and professional world.
The "S" Club motto is Service, Leadership and Friendship. The "S" Club will allow the girls to be of service to the school and the community while developing their leadership skills and building friendships.
The "S" Club is sponsored by Soroptimist International of Fillmore. This group of business and professional women is dedicated to causes concerning women and girls! The members of the "S" Club will be meeting and getting to know the women in the Soroptimist Club, as well as networking with other Soroptimist clubs around the country and the world!
Now more than ever, girls need the support of the community to be successful. The club is girl driven and there will be plenty of opportunities for the members to use and develop their leadership skills.
Our first speaker was Deputy Erika Ragsdale, the topic was self defense. The response from the students has been great. Over 23 girls attended our first presentation by Deputy Erika Ragsdale, the topic was self defense. Deputy Ragsdale was informative, captivating the attending of all the members present. She welcomed questions from the group, demonstrated some self defense strategies and stressed to the girls to always be smart, use our common sense and do things in groups, never alone.
The "S" Club will be meeting during lunch time in room 45. Mrs. Juarez is our advisor. Please contact her or Pres. Oralia Herrera at magnoliares@sbcglobal.net with any questions.
