Celebrate Hispanic/Latino Heritage Month!
Each year, Visions In Education takes part in commemorating National Hispanic/Latino Heritage Month. Americans observe Hispanic/Latino Heritage Month from September 15th to October 15th by celebrating the histories, cultures and contributions of those whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America. The observation started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week and was expanded in 1988 to cover a 30-day period.
Why September 15th?
September 15th coincides with the anniversary of independence for Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. Mexico and Chile celebrate independence days on September 16th and September 18th. Día de la Raza, which is October 12th, falls within this 30-day period.
