Día de los Muertos celebrations held at school and library

Various community and educational institutions held events to celebrate Día de los Muertos, honoring deceased loved ones through traditional art, music, and food.

At a school event, students organized festivities featuring a mariachi band, folklorico dancers, and traditional foods such as tamales and pan de muerto. Spanish III students prepared ofrendas, which are altars decorated with marigolds, candles, skulls, and photographs to remember friends and family.

In Austin, Texas, the Southeast Branch Library hosted a celebration that integrated Mexican culture with mathematics. Participants engaged in activities using sugar skull designs to explore combinatorics and pattern blocks to study geometric relationships. The event included a musical performance by Los Fandangueros de Austin.
