Concord West Side continues celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month by encouraging students to wear their traditional native clothing from all around the world! We will conclude our celebration on Friday by encouraging students and staff to participate on wearing a sport jersey of a national team! Fliers are included below. #WeAreConcord #ConcordPride

Hispanic Heritage Month is a time to celebrate the diversity of Spanish speaking nations and heritages. The Department of States, recognizes, “the contributions and the important presence of Hispanic and Latin Americans in the U.S” (15 Sep. 2023). The celebration begins in the middle of the month due to countries having their independence days near the 15th of September. As a way to celebrate the diverse cultures within Concord West Side, we will highlight some of them via music as it plays in the background during the breakfast period. The music will play in the morning for the weeks of October 2nd and October 9th. On Friday, October 6th, students are able to wear traditional clothing that represents their heritage. All are welcome to participate in this event. We will end the celebration with a sports jersey that is of a national team on the following Friday, October 13th. Below are the fliers with the main events. — El Mes de la Herencia Hispana es un momento para celebrar la diversidad de las naciones y herencias hispanas.
