Students in our Spanish Classes are working on meeting the standards of World Ready Language 5 C's (Communication, Culture, Connections, Comparisons, and Communities) They recently learned about “Día de los Muertos” and “La Ofrenda”
“Día de los Muertos” or “The Day of the Dead” is a holiday centered around family. They may spend days preparing the dishes for the family feast as well as assembling the “Ofrenda” or “Offering Altar”. The “Ofrenda” traditionally features photos of deceased loved ones, objects they treasured in life, and often their favorite foods. Other traditional items include water, to quench the thirst of the spirits who have traveled such a long way to be with family, salt to represent the flavor of life, and many different fruits and vegetables to symbolize abundance. Another important element for the celebration is the myriad candles that decorate not only the “Ofrendas” but the rest of the home, the cemeteries and gravesites, these are to help light the spirits’ way on their journey. Last, but certainly not least for the Ofrenda are marigolds, known as the “flower of the dead.” The bright yellow-orange flowers are used all over the ofrendas, gravesites, and homes to represent the eternal glow of the sun. Moreover, thousands of brilliant petals are laid out as paths for loved ones to follow on their journey home.
“Día de los Muertos” is a sacred, cultural tradition in Mexico with roots in its pagan past of the Aztecs and the Maya. Contrary to popular belief “Day of the Dead” is not Mexican Halloween but a joyful yet reverent remembrance of loved ones who have passed on. According to tradition, the more we think of our dead loved ones and share stories about them with our families-they never truly die.
On Tuesday, November 12th we will have our Veterans Day Ceremony at Nute starting at 7:30 am. Students will report to their SSR for attendance first. We would like to invite any community Veterans to join us to be recognized and stay for a small breakfast following the assembly.
Hi Rams! This is your Ram Reminder that Quarter 1 grades close on Friday, November 15th.
The Family and Consumer Science Classes (FCS) will be hosting the bake table during elections on Tuesday. If you could bake something for us to sell that would be great. Also, encourage your students to work a two-hour shift at the table. They will receive community service for their time. Please let me know if you will be sending something in or if they will be volunteering to help out. We are hoping to get some great things in the FCS room.
Ms. Grover can help out with any questions.
We look forward to seeing you tonight at the PTA sponsored Ram Rave. A school dance for middle and high school students. 6-9pm in the Nute Gym.
