To celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month, we recognized our Hispanic community in schools and their heritage by spotlighting them on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. 

 

Magnolia Muriel

As an ESL Parent Liaison at T H Harris Middle School, Magnolia Muriel supports our Spanish-speaking families with any help they may need. Magnolia emphasizes how important National Hispanic Heritage Month is because she wants not only to be able to share her experiences and traditions but for her community to learn about the different cultures.
