Día de Muertos at Northern Light School is always a special time of year where we come together as a community to celebrate, reflect, and remember our loved ones with our community ofrenda.
This year for Día de Muertos we honored the memory of our loved ones with our traditional ofrenda, and with special activities and events, including making remembrance butterflies, reading about the holiday and writing stories about those who have passed on, taking field trips to the Oakland Museum to see performances by Cascada de Flores, and coming together to learn more in our Spanish classes. At Northern Light School, we choose to celebrate Día de Muertos as a holiday to reflect and remember and it is one of our most cherished community events.

In February, we celebrated Black History Month with a dynamic, student-centered program highlighting the rich traditions of the African diaspora, and the towering contributions of Black artists, scholars, icons, innovators, and leaders throughout American history.

恭喜發財! Northern Light School kicked off this Lunar New Year with a bang! We had a very special performances from the Cal VSA Lion Dance Team and from the Cal Fei Tian Dancers.
