As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month at BBCHS, we are focusing on asking students their lived experiences and perspectives about this month and what it means to them. Today we asked a few students in our Bilingual Program the question, “What is one part of Hispanic Heritage that you are most proud of?”. The graphic below portrays just a few of their answers. Students, thank you for sharing your pride with us!

It brings us a lot of us together to celebrate the ones who are no longer with us in a positive way. We gather, grieve, and eat lots of food. We embrace all the beautiful colors and dances. It shows a part of who we are." Tiffani Rodriguez - BBCHS Student

To continue our celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, today we want to say Happy Día de la Raza “Day of the Race”, to all our Hispanic/Latinx friends.As USA commemorates Indigenous Peoples' Day on October 11, the Latin American countries such as Mexico, Brazil, and Ecuador celebrate the Día de la Raza ("Day of the Race") on 12th October to recognize their indigenous people, traditions, and cultural heritage.
Argentina calls today, "Day of Respect of Cultural Diversity"
and Peru calls it "Day of the Aboriginal Peoples & Intercultural Dialogue" 
.As for Spain, October 12 is also the National Day of Spain, which is to commemorates the Spanish legacy to the world.
Let us celebrate this beautiful day together as one. Happy Día de la Raza!
