Hispanic Heritage Month begins on September 15 and continues through October 15. During this special time, schools celebrate the rich histories, cultures, languages, traditions, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities in the United States and around the world.

At school, students may participate in classroom lessons, read books by Hispanic and Latino authors, learn about influential leaders and artists, explore music and traditions, and engage in activities that honor the diversity of our school community.

Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month is important because it helps students develop cultural understanding, respect, and appreciation for the many backgrounds represented in our community. It also provides an opportunity to recognize the accomplishments and contributions of Hispanic and Latino individuals throughout history.
