Our September calendar is filled with a variety of observances, holidays, and events that mark the transition from summer to fall. From Labor Day to Patriot Day, and the start of Hispanic Heritage Month, September offers a mix of celebrations and awareness campaigns. As students head back to school and the leaves begin to change colors, it's a time of new beginnings and preparations for the upcoming fall season.

Hispanic Heritage Month, also known as Latino Heritage Month, is a month-long celebration in the United States that recognizes the contributions and influence of Hispanic and Latino Americans to the country's history, culture, and achievements. It is observed from September 15 to October 15 each year. The month is a time to honor the diverse cultures, traditions, and histories of Hispanic and Latino Americans.

Hispanic Heritage Month also celebrates the rich cultural heritage and contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans in various fields such as art, music, literature, science, politics, and more. It provides an opportunity to educate others about the history and experiences of Hispanic and Latino communities in the United States and to promote understanding and appreciation of their diverse backgrounds.
