Our Dual Immersion classes are celebrating Dia De Muertos! They created virtual ofrendas of their loved ones. These ofrendas (offerings) are created to honor their departed family members that have passed. This holiday is celebrating life and death. It is unlike any holiday where mourning is exchanged for celebration.
