Monday, September 15, 2025
Important Information:
Today is September 15, and that means it’s the start of National Hispanic Heritage Month!
This month-long celebration kicks off today because it matches the Independence Days of several Latin American countries-like El Salvador, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Honduras! And just after, Mexico celebrates on September 16, and Chile on September 18!
The theme for 2025 is “Collective Heritage: Honoring the Past, Inspiring the Future.” During this month, all across the nation, in PSD and at Kinard, we honor the culture, history, and amazing contributions of Hispanics and Latino communities. We are also encouraged to create positive change for the future by lifting up Hispanic and Latino voices leading the way.
Teachers and students, please visit the Kinard Media Center now through October 15 to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. Browse the displays and check out a great book to read about powerful voices and stories!
