It seems to get better every year, and Dana Bowser, Social Emotional Learning Coach for the Chester Upland School District (CUSD), delights in seeing to the details. While last year’s celebration was held at the high school, this year’s CUSD proudly continued its commemoration through a series of district-wide activities.
On October 10, CUSD hosted a Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration at Chester High School, serving as a focal point in an array of district-wide initiatives designed to engage students and staff in various activities. These activities included mural displays, cultural dance lessons, and various other projects.
As a proud Latinx American, SEL Coordinator Dana Bowser, from Central Administration, collaborates with the school leader, staff, and students to develop activities and celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month district-wide.
She emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and celebrating Hispanic culture stating, “Hispanic Heritage Month is a time for us to unite, appreciate our rich cultural diversity, reinforce our commitment to equity and inclusion, and foster an environment of belonging. It’s both a privilege and a joy to lead these initiatives, and I’m truly honored by the enthusiasm shown by our students and staff.”
