Hispanic Heritage Month

Saint James School is excited to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with our students over the next few weeks — recognizing the importance of children appreciating and understanding the many cultural differences that surround us and how those differences have helped shape our Country.

During this time you will find our students engaging in intentional, age-appropriate lessons that focus on the unique histories and cultures of Hispanics and Latin Americans in the U.S. and the numerous ways in which they have contributed to America’s development.  These lessons may come through in their specials classes such as art, music, library and Spanish and/or be part of regular lessons in religion, history, or reading.  As always, we hope you – our parents/guardians – will talk to your students about what they are learning and continue the conversation at home.
