Hispanic/Latinx American Month takes place from Sept 15th-Oct 15th!
It’s a time to celebrate the cultures, traditions, and contributions of people whose families come from Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Spain. We honor their history and the many ways they help shape our communities!

Creativity in Culture
Papel Picado
Children can celebrate Latine Heritage Month by making papel picado, colorful paper banners created by folding and cutting tissue paper into decorative patterns.
This traditional Mexican folk art represents the vibrant spirit and cultural pride of Latine communities, often used to honor special occasions and bring people together!

Growing Global Citizens
Growing Global Citizens
At Del Mar Union School District, we are committed to nurturing global citizens by recognizing and celebrating the diverse experiences, backgrounds, and values that make our community unique. Like a mirror, we encourage reflection on our own beliefs, values, and experiences to better understand who we are. Like a window, we look outward with curiosity and empathy to learn from the perspectives of our students, families, and communities.
This balance of looking inward and outward strengthens our commitment to building an inclusive environment where everyone feels seen, respected, and valued. Throughout the year, we invite you to observe heritage, wellness, and awareness months that honor our students and support meaningful conversations both at school and at home.
