Let Us Give Thanks and Take Action!
As we close, let us lift up our hearts in gratitude for the gifts and blessings of our Hispanic brothers and sisters and how they have enriched our culture.
We invite you during this month of Hispanic Heritage Month to engage in some of the following actions:
- Have a conversation with someone you know (or would like to know) to learn a little bit about their culture
- Eat some food from an Hispanic Country
- Watch a movie about Spanish culture and have a conversation (suggested movies: Spanglish, McFarland, USA, Fools Rush In)
