🧡🌼 Honoring Our Loved Ones at Garfield Elementary 🌼🧡

Our annual Día de los Mu***os ofrenda is a beautiful reminder that those we love are never forgotten. Through this special tradition, we celebrate the memories, love, and legacies of those who will forever hold a place in our hearts.

We warmly invite our Garfield families to participate by sending in pictures of loved ones who have passed away to be included in our ofrenda display. 🕯️❤️

We are proud to honor this meaningful tradition and celebrate the rich culture of our Garfield community! 🌼
