Last week the Drama Club had a successful opening weekend. The first night the play sold out and people were turned away. There are two remaining weekends left so make sure you get a chance to see “Death and Nicotine.” Friday March 5th at 7:00pm and Saturday March 6th at 7:00pm are the two showing times this coming weekend. Cost is $5.00 for students and $7.00 for adults; you can also buy snacks and drinks for $1.00. Remember doors open at 6:30. I saw the play and personally I thought it was fabulous. Pennies for Patients was also a success. Many classes raised a good amount of money for this cause. ASB has not yet finished counting the boxes so stay tuned for next week to see who the winning class is. Renaissance Award night is Wednesday March 3rd at 7:00pm in the Sespe Auditorium at the District Office; we look forward to seeing you there. Fillmore High School Pep Squad has a competition this coming Saturday at Universal City Walk. They are competing to defend their two year title as State Champs. LET’S GO FLASHES…!

A special thank you to those 75 Fillmore High School youth (some of whom are pictured above)  who volunteer to make a difference in the lives of a younger child. The youth meet weekly to do homework, arts and crafts, or to talk about something of interest or simply share how their week has gone.  In addition the youth go on trips together (on February 15 they are going to the LA Zoo).  The youth are supervised by program staff; Amelia Aparicio for Mountain Vista, Sespe and the Boys and Girls' Club; Norma Magana and Alicia Rodriguez at Fillmore Middle School.  The program started matching high school youth with 5 - 12 year old elementary and middle school students in 2000. In 2003 the Fillmore/Piru Mentor Program  joined Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Ventura County. The high school youth are called Big Brothers or Big Sisters and the elementary or middle school youth to whom they are assigned is the Little Brother or Sister. The cost to match a high school

The cost to match a high school "Big" and elementary "Little" is approximately $1500 per match. Studies have shown that the longer the match the greater the experience for both the "Big" and the "Little". Most high school students are signed up to be a mentor in their Freshmen year and they are encouraged to continue on through all four years of high school.
