SEMANA 7: DEL 17 AL 21 DE SEPTIEMBRE (WEEK 7: FROM SEPTEMBER 17 TO 21 2012)

Let’s celebrate the Hispanic Heritage Month!

¡Celebremos el Mes de la Herencia Hispana!

Hispanic Heritage Month is observed from Sept. 15 through Oct. 15. This national initiative celebrates the histories, cultures, and contributions of American citizens of Spanish, Mexican, Caribbean, and Central and South American descent.

The observation started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period starting on September 15 and ending on October 15. It was enacted into law on August 17, 1988, on the approval of Public Law 100-402.
The day of September 15 is significant because it is the anniversary of independence for Latin American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on September 16 and September18, respectively. Also, Columbus Day or Día de la Raza, which is October 12, falls within this 30 day period.
We will be honoring this month by working on our zone of culture: Activities related to the Hispanic Heritage Month.
