• Fun Fact for Hispanic Heritage Month: What is Dia de los Muertos?

• Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a beautiful Mexican tradition celebrated from October 27th to November 2nd. During this time, families honor and remember loved ones and pets who have passed away by creating a mini ofrenda (altar) filled with special items to welcome their spirits. Marigolds and candles help guide the spirits home, while offerings like food, drinks, sugar skulls, and incense await them upon arrival. It is believed that the spirits of the dead return to the world of the living to be with their families. The ofrenda is a way to celebrate their lives, share memories, and keep their spirits close. This is not a spooky holiday—it’s a joyful celebration of life, love, and remembrance.

• Thanks for following our school expectations or ROSE - to be Respectful to Others, ourSelves and our Environment.
