From September 15 to October 15, Austin ISD joins the rest of the nation to observe National Hispanic Heritage Month—a celebration of the diverse cultures and riveting histories of the people in this country with ancestral roots in Spain, Mexico, and Central and South America.
This year, we are celebrating through a virtual “Proud to be Hispanic” talent show. AISD students are invited to showcase their talents by submitting photos or videos of how they celebrate their Hispanic culture at home. Families are welcome to participate in the submissions. The categories include:
- Dancing
- Music or Singing
- Writing or Storytelling
- Drawing
Please help us by posting and distributing the flyer—available in English and Spanish—among your campus community. We would love to have participation from all our schools!
Videos or photos should be submitted via the talent submission form: http://bit.ly/AISDHispanicHeritageTalent
Accepted submissions will be posted on the Educa Austin Facebook page between now and October 12. Winners will be announced on October 15 through a virtual award ceremony.
Prizes:
- Two Chromebooks to the top two photos or videos with the highest number of reactions to their post, regardless of category.
- $100 H-E-B gift cards to the posts with the highest number of reactions in each category.
