Hispanic Heritage Month has just ended, but we want to highlight some of the amazing things that have been happening around our school... Each day, students have been doing the Pledge of Allegiance in Spanish. Students have also been highlighting different countries each day over the announcements. Mi Pueblo Supermarket sponsored our door decorating contest, and gave winning teachers a $50 gift card to any of their locations. The class period that decorated their doors also received goodie bags with Hispanic candy. We have had a great month at Calera Middle School!
