MENSAJE DE EL DIRECTORO SALCIDO
¡Feliz mes de la hispanidad! Happy Hispanic Heritage month!
This month we commemorate and celebrate the independence of the Latin American countries from the Spanish empire and the contributions of Latinos and Latinas throughout the history of the world. It is very important for our students to know their history--their family history, as well as the history of the country their ancestors originated from. Knowing about our history grounds us and allows us to understand how we are the product of the dreams and hopes of the generations before us. For students, this helps them see the impact and support of their ancestors, it gives them a strong sense of identity and culture, and this builds their character and resilience. It is important for our students to understand how rich their heritage is and that by being in the United States adds to that richness. At Castro Elementary we respect our students and families by
recognizing that the majority of Castro students are bicultural and the unique perspective that gives them to see the world. When we see all facets of our students and families, we are able to serve them better and build stronger relationships. ¡Ay que celebrar!
Atentamente,
Sr. Salcido
