National Hispanic Heritage Month in the United States began today, and goes until October 15th. During this time frame, our school will recognize the contributions made and the important presence of Hispanic and Latino Americans to the United States. In each class, we will learn about the Spanish speaking countries and will celebrate their heritage and culture through many projects and in-class activities. On Monday, Middle and Primary School students will hear from a guest speaker about the positive influence of the Hispanic and Latino Americans to the United States. On October 12th, on our Dia de la Raza, we will have a school-wide Hispanic Fiesta to sum up all of our learning and cultural activities.
