Wal-Mart Strengthens Hispanic Heritage Month Educational Offerings

Did you know why September 15 was chosen as the start date of Hispanic Heritage Month? The answer and dozens more fun facts about Hispanic history and culture are included in a new set of educators’ tools available online from Wal-Mart starting September 15.

In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, September 15 - October 15, 2005, Wal-Mart will again provide educational materials including a specially- created educators’ tool kit designed to teach children and teens more about Hispanic history and culture. The new tools were developed in response to teacher requests for educational materials Wal-Mart distributed in its stores. The new tools, offered exclusively online, will provide teachers online lesson plans to assist them in talking to their students about Hispanic Heritage Month. Teachers and parents can access the resource kit from the www.walmartstores.com home page.
