Hispanic Heritage Month
Hispanic Heritage Month begins September 15 and runs through October 15. Below are a few links to some possible ideas from TPT. I'll reimburse teams up to $20 per team if you'd like to purchase one of these or something else from TPT or something else to do for Hispanic Heritage Month. Please be sure to invite me to take pictures!
