DAY OF THE DEAD
During the weeks of October 18th to November 7th, we invite all families to send pictures of their loved ones who have passed away to school (in frames please and 'Return to' names on back).

These pictures will be placed on a special Altar of Memories and we will pray for your deceased loved ones throughout these weeks as we get closer to All Souls and All Saints Day. The Altar of Memories, is a special part of the Mexican Day of the Dead celebration. Seventh and Eighth grade work on special projects to celebrate this Mexican Holiday. The Altar of Memories is located by the main office area. 

Thanking you in advance, Ms. Salaverria
