Latin X or Hispanic Heritage Month (HHM) takes place September 15 to October 15 every year as a time to recognize and celebrate the many contributions, diverse cultures, and extensive histories of the American Latino community.
Beginning in 1968, Hispanic Heritage Month was originally observed as “Hispanic Heritage Week”, but it was later extended to a month in 1988. Since then, HHM has been celebrated nationwide through festivals, art shows, conferences, community gatherings, and much more. The month also celebrates the independence days of several Latin American countries. Join us for our upcoming Quinceanera themed dance on October 6th, from 6-8pm at Launch!
At Community Design Day, was designed to have voices and opinions of various stakeholder groups heard and included as we design our future Launch High School! Participants were able to:
See videos of schools across the country who are doing things very differently to consider what’s possible in innovation!
Engage in discussions where we dream big about what we hope to see in our future high school and start designing!
Gain clarity around the work that has been done so far, the process moving forward, and how you can continue to be involved.
Our priority is your child’s health and safety! Here is the recording of the Family Health and Safety Webinar where we discuss all of the ways we plan to keep students safe during the school year including masks, desk shields, social distancing and more.
In our November Parent Association Meeting we had two special guests. Our first guest was Kagame Li-A-Ping, a young professional on the rise to helping his community move forward in the financial empowerment movement. He presented about financial literacy. Our next guest, Ms. Cameron, a 7th grade parent did a guided mindfulness meditation for our families. We also celebrated our new PA Coordinators and as always shared some great resources!
