Engaging Programming for Hispanic Heritage Month
September kicks off Hispanic Heritage Month – an excellent opportunity to celebrate the diversity within your school community and foster an inclusive environment. Below, read some of our top ideas for programming popular Hispanic movies and creating meaningful events.
Cultural Celebrations
Organize a series of events and activities that celebrate the rich and vibrant Hispanic culture. Consider hosting a Hispanic Heritage assembly featuring traditional music, dance performances and guest speakers who can share their experiences and insights. Engage students in art workshops, culinary demonstrations or craft sessions where they can explore Hispanic traditions firsthand.
Book Fair
Encourage students to explore Hispanic literature and language during Hispanic Heritage Month. Organize a book fair featuring works by prominent Hispanic authors, and invite local authors or educators to deliver storytelling sessions. You can also initiate language exchange programs to students, fostering cross-cultural connections.
