Everyday and Ontime
Celebrating Hispanic Heritage
September 15th is the beginning of Hispanic Heritage Month. This year's theme is Latinos: Driving Prosperity, Power, and Progress in America. All of Berkshire will play a part in celebrating. We will be learning about Latino culture in all special areas, decorating our building, and also having a dedicated Chat&Chew for our ESOL families.
As the year moves on, Berkshire will celebrate every student. If you have any ideas or suggestions on how we can better celebrate your culture, feel free to contact Mrs. Lemus at rlemus@bcps.org.
