Speas Global Elementary School kicked off Hispanic Heritage Month with their annual parade on Thursday morning. Students represented Spanish-speaking countries around the world through costume as part of their "Who We Are" unit on world cultures. Many teachers and students at the school come from these countries, and bringing the whole community together to honor their diversity is one of the highlights of Speas' school year.

"Our Hispanic community does a lot to elevate our school culture," said Magnet Coordinator Micaela Bermudez. "We're a very diverse school, and that's something we should celebrate."
