Our first cultural event is Día de los Muertos, (Day of the Dead) an annual indigenous Mexican celebration, where families gather to honor and remember deceased loved ones. This is a joyful festivity for families and the community, where music, dances, and the celebration of life are key parts.While we recognize that this is becoming a tradition around our communities here in Washington state/U.S., not everyone has an opportunity to partake in those festivities, hence my goal to bring it to our students and their families. At CPE, we want to create this annual event with our students’ participation. They will showcase baile folklórico that they have been working hard on to perform for their families.
