If it’s September, then it’s time to wish you a Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! From September 15th to October 15th, people around the country gather to celebrate Latino Americans and the accomplishments of those who identify as having a Hispanic heritage.

Not only does this time give us an opportunity to recognize the contributions, milestones, and monumental accomplishments of people who identify as having Hispanic heritage, but it also memorializes various Latin American Independence Day achievements and Hispanic culture as a whole.

During Hispanic Heritage Month, people can find many different ways to commemorate and celebrate with the plethora of Latin communities across the country. From family to the wider community, you can honor this time and enrich yourself at the same time.

Below are links to digital books, color sheets, and a video.
