5th-grade Condors visited CSUCI

Our 5th-grade Condors visited CSUCI this past Friday!

Students had the opportunity to tour the beautiful campus, learn about the different majors offered, and begin envisioning their future beyond elementary school. They asked thoughtful questions, explored new possibilities, and sparked their curiosity about college and career pathways.

Experiences like these help our students dream big and soar to new heights!

heartfelt thank you to our school counselor

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our school counselor, Mrs. Fuentes, for her unwavering support of our students and staff. From supporting students’ academic success and social-emotional well-being to advocating for families and providing guidance during life’s challenges, she does it all with compassion and care. Her big heart for counseling and commitment to every student make her an incredible advocate and an essential part of our school community.

3rd Annual Fillmore Student Art Show

Mrs. Silva’s class, along with Fillmore High School and Fillmore Middle School, proudly participated in the 3rd Annual Fillmore Student Art Show to showcase young artists at the Santa Paula Art Museum.

Our Piru students created original monster drawings, which were then brought to life by Fillmore High School ceramics students in collaboration with Mr. Torres. This cross-grade partnership highlighted creativity, imagination, and the power of students learning from one another.

We are so proud of our young artists and grateful for this meaningful collaboration.
