Hispanic Heritage Month started as a single week observance in 1968 and became a full month in 1988.

It runs from September 15 to October 15 to honor the independence days of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Mexico and Chile. 🌎 HHM celebrates a common heritage that crossed borders, languages, and generations to establish and enrich US culture. Global citizenship begins with the recognition, respect, and enjoyment of the differences and commonalities among people. As the month wraps up, we're celebrating the Hispanic and Latino educators, students and families whose voices make our classrooms and our world richer. ¡Míl gracias! #CASIEIB #HispanicHeritageMonth #GlobalCitizenship #InternationalMindedness #IBEducators
