The Young Writers Awards Night was held on Thursday, May 21st at the District Office, co-facilitated by Assistant Superintendent Huang and Mountain Vista Reading Intervention Teacher Kristyn Bennett. Principals and district leaders presented awards to nearly 85 students from grades 1-12 for outstanding stories, poems, and graphic designs. Award recipients received cash prizes funded directly by sponsors, certificates of achievement, and inclusion in a commemorative book featuring all winning entries. Additionally, Scott Lee presented the Ernie Morales Memorial Award to Emma Payan for her entry “Raised by Her Hands” which exemplified family and community involvement. We extend our sincere appreciation to this year's sponsors: Fillmore Lion's Club, Fillmore Unified School District, The Rotary Club of Fillmore, St. Francis of Assisi Knights of Columbus, and Otto and Sons Nursery.
