Flower Valley will celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15th to October 15th. We will celebrate Latin American cultures through music, dance, literature, and some of our own Flower Valley students! On October 1st students will participate in an assembly from the Latin American Musical group Cantaré called Mucha Música-A Musical Journey to Latin America. Teachers will read books by Latin American authors and illustrators. Our weekly announcements will also feature some of our very own Fireflies highlighting their Hispanic heritage!
