From September 15 to October 15, we celebrate the histories, cultures, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans, and reflect on all the ways they have contributed to the betterment of our nation. Since 1968, we share this annual tribute by learning and celebrating the generations of Hispanic and Latino. Did you know that OM has over 200 Hispanic families that have become an important part of our school community? We have families with Hispanic heritage from Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, México, Chile, Peru, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Colombia, Bolivia, and Chile. During this time, I invite you to learn and embrace the diverse Hispanic culture that lives within our community.
