Hispanic Heritage Month
Every year from September 15 to October 15, we honor our ancestors from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America during Hispanic Heritage Month.
September 15 was chosen as the first day of Hispanic Heritage Month because it marks the anniversary of the independence of Latin American countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Mexico and Chile also celebrate their independence during this period on September 16 and September 18.
To help honor this amazing culture, we are including some resources that you may want to investigate:
Scholastic: Celebrate Hispanic Heritage
Teaching Tolerance: Latino Civil Rights Timeline
