๐ผ Celebrating Culture, Remembering Loved Ones ๐ผ
If youโve joined us for Parent-Teacher Conferences, you may have noticed a special ofrenda (altar) set up in our cafeteria by a wonderful parent volunteer! ๐๐งก๐๐
Each year, we celebrate and recognize a cultural heritage that many in our Washington Elementary community share. Our ofrenda is part of Dรญa de los Mu***os, a holiday that honors and remembers loved ones who have passed away. ๐
We talk about the meaning and traditions of this special holiday in all our classrooms, and weโd love for our Washington families to be part of the celebration!
๐ธ Families are invited to send in photos of loved ones theyโd like to honor so we can add them to our ofrenda.
Please donโt send original photos! Youโre welcome to stop by the office, and weโll happily make a copy to keep your precious memories safe. ๐
Thank you for helping us celebrate culture, cherish memories, and honor the loved ones who will always hold a special place in our hearts! ๐ฏ๏ธ๐ผ
