| ¡Hidalgo dice Viva México! |
| 9/17/2009 11:59:38 AM |
En el distrito escolar de Hidalgo los estudiantes se dieron la tarea de celebrar junto a su vecino país México la celebración del 199 Aniversario de su independencia. Llenos de coloridos vestuarios y folklore, varios alumnos llegaron el día de hoy vestidos de Adelitas, Charros y campesinos los cuales representan la rica cultura y trabajo de México.
Algunos de los planteles incluso tuvieron unas pequeñas ceremonias para conmemorar “El Grito” y su significado histórico. Esta celebración coincide con El Mes de la Herencia Hispana que es celebrado del 15 de septiembre, al 15 de octubre, donde se hace honores a las personas con antecedentes de habla hispana en Estados Unidos. Los planteles ya tienen algunos planes de antemano para conmemorar esta fecha en su aulas ya que el Mes de la Herencia Hispana celebra y reconoce la rica influencia política, económica, social y cultural de los hispanos en todo el territorio de los Estados Unidos.
El Festejo de la Herencia Hispana fue primeramente aprobado como un festejo de una semana por una Resolución Conjunta del Congreso de los Estados Unidos el 17 de septiembre de 1968. Veinte años más tarde, el 17 de Agosto de 1988, el Presidente Ronald Reagan expandió las celebraciones a un mes, del 15 de septiembre al 15 de octubre. El período de tiempo fue seleccionado para coincidir con las celebraciones de México, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras y Nicaragua.
Festejos por el bicentenario del inicio de la independencia de México se efectuaran a lo largo de año en todo el país.
