Fillmore Unified School District (FUSD) is again this year participating in the Binational Summer School Program. The program offers a culturally enriching and academically supportive environment for migrant students during the summer months. This unique program brings visiting teachers from Mexico to local schools, allowing students to engage in bilingual instruction that strengthens both their academic and language skills. Held primarily at Somis School, the program emphasizes cultural history, personalized learning, and the importance of educational continuity during the summer.
This summer, four dedicated teachers from Mexico are participating in the program. Teresita Llova leads instruction for Fillmore students at Somis School. Two additional teachers are stationed at Lemonwood School, while one more is working with students at El Rio School District. These teachers bring with them valuable cultural knowledge and teaching expertise that resonate with the students’ lived experiences, helping to create a meaningful and engaging summer learning experience.
