Celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month
September 25, 2023
Did you know that September 15 – October 15 is National Hispanic Heritage Month? Rather than selecting a calendar month, the dates encompass the anniversaries of national independence for several Latin American countries, including Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua that all recognize September 15 as the date of their independence, while Mexico and Chile’s independence days are celebrated September 16 and September 18 respectively. Started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson, the observation was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988.
Because food is a common language that brings us together, Middle School students led by Spanish Teacher Anabel Brcek cooked and enjoyed tacos, flan, and pay de limón con galletas María as part of their research and learning about the many Hispanic Americans who have positively influenced and enriched our nation and society.
