Hispanic Heritage Month Events
Throughout the month (September 15th to October 15th) we provide cultural education in various locations in the city including local schools. We offer recognition to local Hispanics for their achievements and contributions to our community.

Through the Hispanic Heritage Month we bring activities to educate about the richness of our Latino cultures to our community and the community at large in this particular case through performing arts.

The Spanish Action League will present the following activities for the students at Seymour Elementary School. Children from Delaware and Blodgett Schools are also invited to attend.
