You're Invited!

On behalf of our Parent Ambassadors, we are excited to extend a warm invitation to our Remember Me: Día de los Muertos Celebration & Community Ofrenda!

🗓 Friday, November 1st, 2024
⏰ 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
📍 John Glenn High School Quad

This event will be a beautiful and heartfelt celebration of our community’s traditions, honoring the memories of our loved ones who have passed. We invite all community members to bring a photo of their departed loved ones to place on our community ofrenda as part of this shared experience.

In addition to the ofrenda, you can look forward to an evening filled with music (with one of our talented parents DJing the event!), community, and of course, delicious churros and refreshments! Our Parent Ambassadors have been working tirelessly to make this event special for all of us, and we would love for you to join us in supporting their efforts and celebrating this meaningful occasion together.

Come enjoy an evening of remembrance, tradition, and community spirit—we hope to see you there.

Kind regards,

Jasmin Flores (she/her(s)/ella)
