CICS Ralph Ellison Academy proudly celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month!
From September 15 through October 15, we join communities across the country in recognizing the histories, cultures, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans.
Hispanic Heritage Fact: The celebration begins on September 15, a date connected to the independence anniversaries of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Mexico and Chile also celebrate their independence days shortly afterward, on September 16 and September 18.
Throughout Hispanic Heritage Month, we celebrate the diverse cultures and voices that strengthen our school community. Different cultures. Stronger together.
