Situated on W. 7th Street is a rare gem on the west side, our North Hi Mount Elementary School. Its heritage and presence have long been part of this beloved area and in time has become surrounded by a bustling community of businesses, restaurants, and beautiful homes. In my opinion, our little school is the heart of this community where we live, work, and play…

Each year beginning September 15th, we celebrate the cultural contributions and histories of ancestors from all Latin countries including people from right here in the United States. A bit of history on the birth of Hispanic Heritage Month: It began as just one week in 1968 under President Lyndon Johnson. Later, in 1988 President Reagan enacted into law to cover a 30-day period, starting on September 15 and ending October 15. There are many ways families celebrate their Hispanic Heritage including these Fort Worth events:

It’s always a hot topic on everyone’s mind, so we decided to address it again! So, what can your kids wear (and not wear) at North Hi Mount Elementary?

I’m here, as your summer Cruise Director, to give you some notes on setting intentions for your Summer. Let’s make it the best Summer ever. The antidote to 2020…

“Our school is a beautiful historic building, full of charm, full of history, full of kids and adults doing life and doing school each day. But it’s the people within the school walls that are the true treasure. Teachers and staff show up at the break of dawn to be ready to welcome our kids… They give of themselves, give their time and talents, they give a sense of community and camaraderie that’s evident…How can we possibly say “Thank you,” how can we possibly put into words what the actions of so many have meant? “Thank you” just doesn’t quite come close.

We innovate. We expand. We create new opportunities. We ensure that we are adding value to your sponsors’ businesses.

Kristina: Of course!. Here we go...

“Dr. Cheruvu discusses what it means to be an anti-racist parent in 2020, and what this looks like with young children, by exploring two questions: What is anti-racist parenting? Where do we begin? She offers book suggestions, shows easy-to-understand illustrations, and asks those hard questions that are so important for parents to ask ourselves in order to help our children learn…”
