Hispanic Heritage Month
Honoring Culture, History and Traditions
Hispanic Heritage Month is observed annually from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, celebrating the contributions of Hispanic communities to the nation's history, culture, and achievements. It’s a time to honor the diverse voices, traditions, and innovations that continue to shape American life. Open to all Full Time and Flex students in grades Kindergarten-12.
Each year, FLVS students come together in many ways to celebrate, through virtual activities, including learning about traditions, prominent figures and inventors, the history of Salsa dance, cooking Hispanic food, and trivia games.
