From September 15 through October 15, Elm Grove proudly celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month! This year’s theme, “Unidos, Somos Más” (Together, We Are More), reminds us that our diverse cultures, traditions, and stories make our Eagle community stronger.

Hispanic Heritage Month began as a weeklong celebration in 1968 and expanded to a full month in 1988. September 15 was chosen as the starting date because it marks the independence anniversaries of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua, followed by Mexico on September 16 and Chile on September 18. We are excited to honor the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans throughout our Elm Grove community!

Join Us for Multicultural Night!

Dear EGE Families,

Mark your calendars for November 19, 2026, from 6–7 p.m. in the EGE cafeteria! We had a wonderful turnout last year, and we’re excited to come together again to celebrate the many cultures that make EGE special. Enjoy an evening of food, music, recipes, prizes, and fun!

Be on the lookout for a paper figure of a child coming home with your student. Students are invited to decorate or color their figure to represent themselves, their culture, and/or their heritage. Families are welcome to help—we’d love for this to be something you create together!

Please return completed figures to your child’s teacher by November 13, 2026.

Students whose parents sign up will receive a special incentive! More details about signing up and the incentive will be shared soon.

We look forward to celebrating with your family!
