Hispanic Heritage Month is observed el 15 de septiembre through el 15 de octubre.  What a great opportunity for us to celebrate the diverse Hispanic cultures that exist in our communities.

How are you going to celebrate Hispanic Heritage month?  Here are some ideas!  Have fun and get your whole familia involved!

-Eat dinner at an authentic Hispanic restaurante.  Ask Sra. Neher for a list of places around our community. (Taco Bell doesn't count as authentic!)
-Read a Hispanic folktale.  You may look online or use the link on the right of this blog to find some.
-Listen to Spanish music.
-Read about Hispanic heroes. Ask Sra. Neher for a list of important Hispanics who have changed the world! (some of my faves - Cesar Chavez, Selena Quintanilla, Ellen Ochoa, Roberto Clemente, and Rita Moreno)
-Attend a Spanish speaking church (ask Sra Neher for a list of churches in the community)

El Verso de Septiembre

"Ama al Señor tu Dios con todo tu corazon, tu ser, y con toda tu mente."  Mateo 22:37

Remember to practice saying this verse at home!  You need to say this verse from memory by the end of Septiembre.
