Celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month

Hispanic Heritage Month (HHM) takes place every year from September 15 through October 15 — providing an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the many contributions, diverse cultures, and extensive histories of the American Latino community.

HHM provides the perfect opportunity to share the newly released supplement to The State We're In: Washington from the League of Women Voters of Washington. You'll find links to both the English and Spanish version of the supplemental resource as well as the text and accompanying teacher guide for The State We're in Washington below:
