FAFSA night
Spanish classes today created "ofrendas" (offerings) for "Día de los Muertos" (Day of the Dead). It is a two day holiday (November 1st and 2nd) when many families in Mexico remember their loved ones who have passed away. It is more of a celebration of life rather than a time of mourning. I'm very proud of their efforts in putting these together!
