Hispanic Heritage Month
September 15 to October 15 is Hispanic Heritage Month. At Hartford Public Schools, we look forward to spending this month highlighting and celebrating the many contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans. By focusing on their stories, we offer perspectives that educate and inspire our students to succeed in school and in life. Throughout the month we will be showcasing our schools’ activities and events that recognize notable Hispanic and Latino people, in an effort to further explore these rich histories and cultures.
Can’t think of a better way to close out Hispanic Heritage Month. The students and staff at @WeaverHighS did an amazing job! The students treated us to bomba y plena, bachata, merengue and salsa dances #orgullohispano #hispanicheritagemonth2022 pic.twitter.com/xjXjWyrmOL
