For Hispanic Heritage Month, we’ve curated several opportunities for you to get in on the celebration!

1) Share Your Story!

We invite staff with roots in the Hispanic diaspora to submit a short video responding to one of our prompts. Video submissions will be accepted through October 8 and select entries will be shared across PGCPS communication channels. All submissions will be featured in our gallery on pgcps.org.

2) Share Your School's Event!

Upload photos or video from your school celebrations (events, decorations, activities etc.) to be featured on pgcps.org. Or, if you have something special planned, share it with communications@pgcps.org!
