A Holiday Message from Superintendent Schieferle
By Gazette Staff Writers — Friday, December 30th, 2022

Dear FUSD Community,
Happy Holidays! As we wrap up 2022, I wanted to share how grateful I am to serve as your Superintendent. I would like to thank our amazing students, staff, families, and communities of Fillmore and Piru for your support. We will continue to remain student-focused and work relentlessly to provide the necessary resources and support so all students can thrive both inside and outside of our classrooms. Reflecting on this past semester, we have been able to celebrate passing a facilities bond, bringing parent volunteers back into our classrooms, full-schedule athletic events, and music and drama performances. Cheers to 2023 and the great things to come for our students in the Fillmore Unified School District! Enjoy the holiday break and we look forward to welcoming our students back to school on January 11, 2023.

On behalf of the FUSD Governing Board, I wish you a joyful holiday season and a safe and happy new year.

Sincerely,
Christine Schieferle
Superintendent

Rio Vista Visits the School Farm
By Gazette Staff Writers — Wednesday, October 5th, 2022
Last week Fillmore’s Rio Vista TK and Kinder students had a great field trip at the FHS School Farm as part of the Fillmore FFA hosted “Fall on the Farm” event where 450 students attended. The young students toured six different stations around the farm by FFA members. One included pumpkin science, picture taking, hay maze, and a tractor ride. They also got to pick their own special pumpkins to decorate and take home to share with their families. While going around and seeing the farm the kids got the opportunity to ask about the livestock animals and projects students have at Fillmore High School. FFA had a great time hosting the students and getting to be back after COVID. Fillmore FFA is excited to keep this an annual event to educate and give the younger generations a chance to try new things and be a part of an amazing program. Happy Fall! Courtesy Rio Vista Blog.
