Community Ofrenda for Día de los Muertos

Please join us in creating Hill’s first ever Día de los Muertos ofrenda. Día de los Muertos is a Mexican holiday celebrated from Nov.1 to Nov. 2 each year.  Families build altars, or ofrendas, to pay their respects and to remember their loved ones who have passed on.  In Mexico, this is not a solemn event, but rather a joyful celebration of the lives of those we loved.  We’d like to create our own ofrenda by gathering pictures of our deceased loved ones, pets included!  These pictures will be hung on the yellow brick wall (similar to how we’ve done for veterans day).  If you have questions, please feel free to contact hannah.gloria@austinisd.org or melissa.monreal@austinisd.org.
