REMINDER – Dia de los Muertos: Part of our School Continuous Improvement Plan is to foster connections to various cultures. This invites students to make connections to cultures similar and different than their own. This year our building participated in Dia de los Muertos, which is a 2 day cultural celebration that took place on November 1st and 2^nd by building an Ofrenda (a display of remembrance) to pay respects and to remember friends and family members who have passed. Attached is a picture of the display.
