Inspiring Life-long Learning for Over 25 Years
Color, flowers, photographs, and cherished memories came together as our school community observed Día de Muertos, the Mexican tradition of honoring and remembering loved ones who have died.
Our ofrenda, or remembrance altar, became a beautiful expression of that tradition, adorned with photographs, marigolds, candles, and colorful decorations. Each photograph represented a life remembered, while the vibrant colors and flowers reflected the spirit of a celebration rooted in love, memory, and connection.
Our third and fourth graders also contributed their creativity, sculpting and decorating sugar-skull-inspired photo holders for next year’s ofrenda. These handmade pieces will become part of a growing tradition, carrying this year’s students’ contributions into future celebrations.
Our heartfelt thanks to the Cordova family for generously baking and sharing delicious pan de muerto—the traditional sweet bread associated with Día de Muertos.
Through art, remembrance, and the sharing of cultural traditions, our students experienced a beautiful reminder that the people we love remain part of our stories, even after they are gone.
