CCSD TO HOST THIRD ANNUAL HISPANIC CELEBRATION
The Canton City School District is pleased to host its third annual Hispanic Heritage Celebration. The event will take place from 2 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, September 29th, at the McKinley High School Downtown Campus.
The day will begin with a parent academy from 2 to 3 p.m. in the auditorium followed by the celebration from 3 to 5 p.m. in the Commons and gymnasium. Food will be served from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. in the Commons.
This event is to celebrate and support our district’s growing Hispanic community. Our community partners will have informational booths and our interpreters will be on hand for guidance.
The district’s EL team will present information on our Vision and Mission, upcoming district events, English Language support, Restorative Practice, and Safety and Security.
The day will feature authentic Hispanic appetizers, raffle prizes, and a friendly soccer game in the gym.
Superintendent Adrian E. Allison said that diversity is the strength of the school district and our community.
“We value diversity in the CCSD and we love our Hispanic students and families,” he said. “We will continue to assure them that they are valued members of the Canton City family and prepare them to be college, career and life ready when they graduate,” Allison said.
