FACT: Of the 115 Native languages spoken in the U.S. today, 79 will go extinct within a generation without serious intervention.

"If you were teaching someone to swim, you wouldn't throw them in the deep end and have them swim. You would start in the shallow end and you would practice and practice and practice."
Happy #HispanicHeritageMonth! As a community, we're multifaceted & our contributions to this Nation reflect that.
This month, we recommit to ensuring every Hispanic student, in districts big & small, has the opportunity for an excellent education. ¡Somos Todos, y Somos Uno!
National Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated from September 15 to October 15- It started in 1968 as Hispanic Week under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded to a 30-day period by President Ronald Reagan in 1988
At ED & in our schools, diversity is our greatest strength.
