Weekly Celebrations

Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated from September 15 - October 15. We have a variety of culturally responsive recipes that can be used in CACFP menus, such as our Pupusa de Queso and Curtido! These Salvadoran dishes pair wonderfully and make a #CACFPCreditable snack together. We also have a number of resources and activity pages that have been translated into Spanish, such as our ABC Coloring page.
