Día de los Muertos Celebration at Sabin World Elementary |
|
As an International Baccalaureate school, Sabin World Elementary's mission includes creating globally-minded citizens. One of the ways they do this is by learning about other cultures and their beliefs and traditions.
In the past, one of Sabin's kindergarten teachers had an ofrenda in front of her classroom. This year, Sabin decided to make this a school-wide celebration and invited families to submit photos of loved ones whom they have lost.
In addition, Sabin's art teacher has been working with all grade levels to create sugar skulls and art while they learn about this tradition.
