National Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration
National Hispanic Heritage Month takes place between September 15th and October 15th in the United States. HMS celebrates this opportunity to recognize and acknowledge the contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans to the United States and celebrate their heritage and culture. Featured figures include Ellen Ochoa, an engineer who made history in 1993 as the first Hispanic woman in space and later served as director of the Johnson Space Center, and Cesar Chavez, an American labor leader and civil rights activist who co-founded the National Farm Workers Association (later the United Farm Workers) to fight for better conditions for agricultural workers.

Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration
Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with the theme 'Todos Somos, Somos Uno; We Are All, We Are One.' The observation honors the histories, cultures, and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. The month began in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded to a 30-day period in 1988. September 15 is significant as the anniversary of independence for Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua, while Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence on September 16 and 18 respectively.

Picture Day
October 14th- CMS PICTURE DAY You don’t need to pre-order or send money on Picture Day. All students need to bring is their smile! Here’s how it works: Within about 5 days after Picture Day, you’ll get an email* from Lors Photography with a link to preview your child’s photo. You’ll be able to see the picture before you order and choose from different backgrounds and package options. Order within 7 days to get the standard discounted price and have your photos delivered to the school. Orders placed after 7 days will be mailed directly to your home (with a small shipping fee). We hope this system makes things simple and convenient for our families! *Guardian 1's email listed on Genesis will receive the email with the photo and link to order.
