A note from our EL teacher Mrs. Schmidt:
YGS HISPANIC HERITAGE ASSEMBLY
Dear Families,
In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month we will be having a special whole school assembly at YGS on October 19th, 2021. We are asking those who wish to participate to email photos showing these things to Karen Schmidt, EL teacher at KSchmidt@y115.org
Send 1-3 photos to kschmidt@y115.org (family, cool traditions, accomplishments, culture) BY October 8th.
-
Make sure you let me know from which countries you or your ancestors are representing.
- Make sure your child knows information to share. This can be VERY simple. This can be in English or Spanish.
- If you like, you may dress your child in traditional clothing from that country
- We may also have a display of traditional artifacts, if you would like to contribute something, we will show it and return it.
We can’t wait for students to proudly share their heritage with YGS!
~Mrs. Schmidt
