*Hispanic Heritage Month: At Falmouth Public Schools, we proudly celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month (https://hispanicheritagemonth.gov/) from September 15 to October 15, honoring the significant achievements, resilience, and contributions of Hispanic Americans who have shaped our nation's history and continue to inspire progress. Originally established in 1968 as a week-long observance (https://history.house.gov/HistoricalHighlight/Detail/15032398402?ret=True) under President Lyndon Johnson, Hispanic Heritage Month was expanded to a 30-day celebration by President Ronald Reagan in 1988, marking an official recognition of the vibrant diversity within our communities.
This year’s theme, “Pioneers of Change: Shaping the Future Together, (https://www.nationalcouncilhepm.com/national-hispanic-heritage-month)” calls us to reflect on the trailblazers who are driving meaningful progress and to engage in creating an inclusive future for all.
At Falmouth, we support and embrace all students year-round. Learning about diverse cultures is not limited to designated months but is integrated throughout the year, embedded in our curriculum. Our educators are committed to being culturally responsive in their classrooms, and Heritage Months provide opportunities to celebrate and elevate the work happening year-round.
