Happy Hispanic Heritage Month – ¡Vamos con todo!Â
Â
PWCS proudly celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15, honoring the rich cultural legacy and future of Hispanic and Latino communities.
This year’s theme, “Vamos con todo” — “Let’s go all in” — reflects our commitment to embracing the rhythm, roots, and rise of Hispanic heritage. We celebrate the storytellers, innovators, and leaders shaping our schools and communities.
From generational wisdom to emerging voices, this month is a call to honor history, uplift culture, and inspire the future with pride and purpose.
Throughout the month, PWCS schools will host events that showcase Hispanic culture, including music, art, literature, and community engagement. The celebration is a reminder that Hispanic heritage is not only a reflection of the past, but a powerful force shaping the future.Â
