According to the United States Census Bureau, September 15 to October 15 marks the annual recognition of National Hispanic Heritage Month. This is a time to celebrate the contributions of Americans tracing their roots to Spain, Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Spanish-speaking nations of the Caribbean.
This started as a week-long observance in 1968 under President Johnson and expanded to a month-long observance under President Reagan in 1988. This time period includes the celebration of independence for several of our neighbors to the south: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua on September 15; Mexico on September 16; Chile on September 18; and Belize on September 21.
The APSD ESOL personnel join with the rest of our district to acknowledge the contributions of Hispanic/Latino Americans and to recognize their history, journeys, and achievements. We invite you to support the opportunities to showcase the cultural influences of the Hispanic community locally.
