4K-3rd grade families gathered for Family Literacy Night on November 9. Families enjoyed Storytime with Mrs. Jacobson, picked out some books to take home, and had the opportunity to sign up for a Public Library card. While caregivers learned more about the why, what, and how of reading with Mr. Hansen and Mrs. Curtis, children shared their dreams or drew themselves in the night sky with Miss Grainger, Miss Wilson, Miss Smedema, and Mrs. Wirts. The evening will be the first of other family events this year.

Students helped design and decorate an ofrenda altar in the classroom in memory of lost loved ones, learned about the customs behind these cultural celebrations, got to taste authentic pan de muerto (bread of the dead) and other cultural foods, and decorated calaveritas or sugar skulls. Feliz Día de Muertos!
