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.
