Hispanic Heritage Month
Recognizing the Contributions and Culture of Hispanic and Latino Americans
Hispanic Heritage Month Theme 2025 – Official Winning Poster… September 2025 — The National Council of Hispanic Employment Program Managers (NCHEPM) has officially announced the HispanicHeritageMonthTheme2025, accompanied by the release of the Winning Poster.
How did Hispanic Heritage Month start?
Hispanic Heritage Month has its roots in the civil rights movements of the 1960s, a time when various minority groups, including Latinos, began advocating for greater recognition and inclusion in American society. The movement toward creating a special month to honor the contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans began with Hispanic leaders urging the government to officially recognize the impact of their communities.
The idea took shape when President Lyndon B. Johnson first proclaimed National Hispanic Heritage Week in 1968. The week was designed to celebrate the culture, history, and achievements of people of Hispanic and Latino descent in the United States. Initially, it was a one-week celebration beginning on September 15, a date chosen to coincide with the independence days of several Latin American countries, including Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Mexico celebrates its independence on September 16, while Chile does so on September 18, making this a time of great historical significance for many Hispanic nations.

Bottle Bill would encourage recycling habits
State lawmakers are looking to put Mr. Trash Wheel on a diet by considering a bill that would add bottle deposits to single-serve containers. Consumers who return the bottles would get that money back. Supporters hope the bill will serve as an incentive to recycle so that fewer bottles end up in our waterways. Bottle Bill Info
