Let's celebrate the vibrant rhythms and sounds that represent Hispanic heritage.

"One of my favorite things about being a Windward student is the emphasis the community puts on celebrating diversity. As a member of the Latin Affinity Group, Hispanic Heritage Month, which is celebrated from mid-September to mid-October, has always been especially important to me. Seeing my mom, along with other students’ parents lined up behind booths and handing out traditionally Latin food, drinks, and candies on the bridge, highlights not only how special it is that I get to celebrate my culture with those in my family, but also how I get to share it with all the other students and teachers at my school. By recognizing our differences and continuing to celebrate our diverse identities, Windward’s community will not only be more informed, but also strengthened and unified by our cultures."

"Being a member of the Latinx Affinity Group has given me a space to explore and talk about parts of my identity with people who share similar backgrounds as me. During Hispanic Heritage Month, the Windward community is given the opportunity to hear various stories and come together to celebrate Latin culture. I feel lucky to get to be a part of this celebration and share a piece of my identity with my peers that they might not know about. Hispanic Heritage Month is special to me because I get to spend time recognizing and appreciating my mom’s culture as well as the cultures of other members of the school. Celebrating Windward’s diversity allows and encourages our community to continue to learn more and value our differences. "
