Hispanic Heritage Month
Hispanic Heritage Month is Sept. 15- Oct.15
Hello Hill Families! We are celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month between September 15 and October 15 in order to honor Latinos who have made a positive influence in our communities. This month is observed in multiple ways, such as parades, food fairs, and concerts. Many Mexican Americans are celebrating Mexican Independence Day this weekend, so there are many events to attend. Look up ways to join the fun. Take a picture of your family celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month and send it to Ms. Thorne (jasmine_thorne@ipsd.org). It may be featured in our quarterly Blazers newsletter!

September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month
Suicide is the second leading cause of death in the US among young people aged 12-18. -CDC WISQUARS 2020
September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. It is a time to remember the lives lost to suicide, acknowledge the millions more who have experienced suicidal thoughts, and the many individuals, families and communities that have been impacted by suicide.
