Hispanic Heritage Month Kick-Off
National Hispanic Heritage Month in the United States begins 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. In the Upper School, we officially kicked-off this event today with the IU Honors Language program presentation. 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.
