Success Through Reading presents "From Seeds to Flowers! We have the Power!"

Seventeen children from the community came to learn how they had the power to make the city of Fillmore more beautiful on Wed. March 12th! They pledged to pick up trash, not stomp on flowers and try to make their yard beautiful. Local artist, Fillmore Artist’s Guild and Fillmore Civic Pride 2020 member Joanne King read the book The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle. The children then made a sunflower seed ball to take home and plant. Two books were given away courtesy of the Fillmore Friends of the Library. Students were encouraged to enter the Fillmore Flower Show on April 12th and 13th at the Fillmore Senior Center (533 Santa Clara St. Fillmore). The Success through Reading program this month was presented by Soroptimist International of Fillmore, the Fillmore Friends of the Library along with Fillmore Civic Pride/Vision 2020. Groups, adults and children are welcome to enter the flower show. Questions: Ari Larson 805.794.7590 or petenari55@hotmail.com
