Lennard High School Celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month with Contests

Lennard High School in Ruskin is celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with a series of student contests. Students are invited to participate in art, essay, and poetry competitions honoring the contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans. The theme for the contests is "La Cultura Cura: Identity, Heritage, and Healing." Hispanic Heritage Month runs annually from September 15 to October 15.

The school encourages students from Ruskin neighborhoods to enter. The art contest seeks visual interpretations of the theme, the essay contest calls for written explorations of identity and heritage, and the poetry contest offers a platform for lyrical perspectives on the Hispanic experience. Further details on submissions, deadlines, and judging criteria will be shared through school announcements and teachers.
