Contest is only open to EBRPSS students.
September 15th through October 15th, we recognize and celebrate the culture, music, language, food, accomplishments, of our Hispanic Heritage! Thus, let’s have some fun while we listen to great music, eat delicious food, learn about Hispanic leaders and pioneers, and celebrate the many accomplishments and contributions of our Hispanic Individuals and Communities!
Four (1st place) Student Winners (HS, MS, ES (K-2 and 3-5)) will receive a $25 gift card and a certificate of achievement. The winners and their schools will be featured in district social media posts and we will visit the schools of the winners to take pictures. Good Luck Everyone!!

Good Afternoon,
Where do students answer the prompt or participate in the contest, where do they submit the information for the Hispanic Heritage Contest? Where does the homeroom submit the information after they turn it into their homeroom?
Teachers can submit all entries via Pony to the ESL Department/IRC by October 2nd (to allow time to be delivered). Entries may also be dropped off at the IRC. ESL District Coaches can pick up entries if available (please email: Ms. Harleaux, Ms. Turner, Ms. Tubre, Mr. Bateman). Submissions will not be accepted after October 4th. Winners will be announced the week of October 7th.
