Celebrating Día de los Muertos

Today we will be celebrating Día de los Muertos in our morning assembly. During the last weeks, the students have learned the reason why Mexico and other countries celebrate this festival. An ancient tradition from Mexico, Día de los Muertos honors the lives of loved ones who have passed, while also celebrating the gift of life.

Families and communities create colorful ofrendas (offerings) in honor of deceased loved ones, decorating them with photos, flowers, candles, and their loved one's favorite food. These ofrendas become meeting places for people to come together and share fond stories and remember those we cherish who have passed on.

Glow Dance - TONIGHT!

October 28th, 6 - 8 p.m.

Sponsored by the Festivals Committee and Ag Arts

Student Photo Day

Wednesday, November 9

Photo Day will be Wednesday, November 9th! We are working with Jostens Pix, who will reach out directly to all families 7 days after picture day with a link to preview pictures, change backgrounds, and order pictures through a website link.

As communicated earlier, we landed on Jostens Pix after dealing with a number of issues the last couple of years. While the photos will be taken indoors rather than outdoors, we think the trade off of what they offer offsets this one drawback.

We look forward to seeing all the bright smiling faces and for you to have the pictures back in time to send in your holiday cards!

Weekend Garden Volunteers Needed

This is a wonderful opportunity for you and your family to engage with our school garden, to get outside, and witness the impact of nurturing all living things.

With the help of our devoted summer volunteers, the greenhouse is flourishing, our garden beds are alive, and our animals are untroubled. Thank you for the abundance of love and hard work put into the garden this summer!

This school year we encourage our families to join in the fun and support our beloved garden by feeding and interacting with the animals and watering the crops.

You can sign up here via our SignUp Genius.

Please email Mr. Adam (awright@mountainsongschool.com) if you have any questions or want to receive training.droppable-1662687666852
