Kids Add Mucho Life to Day of the Dead

 


Over 200 people attended our annual Day of the Dead Circle of Life celebration. We ate, played, listened to music, and honored departed loved ones. Three days later, on the actual day, the Montessori Middle School visited the gallery. The kids brought offerings and pictures of their dearly departed, added them to our Global Arts altar, sharing stories and anecdotes about their families and beloved pets. The experience was both poignant and sweet.

Before they returned to school, they invited me to participate in their classroom activities for next year’s Day of the Dead—a real honor.
