WASHOUGAL — Kindergartners in Washougal’s new dual-language classrooms are celebrating ¡Viva la Independencia! National Hispanic and Latinx Heritage Month through Oct. 15. On Sept. 15, pupils created their own flags of Costa Rica and Mexico. Students also viewed short, animated videos about the independence won in these countries, they danced and twirled in a traditional “gola” (skirt) and took part in their own Independence Torch Pass.
