​In Mr. Alex’s specials classes, our students learned about the rich history and deep significance of Día de los Muertos. To honor this meaningful Mexican tradition, our students created a special candle dedication sharing who they wish to remember and why. ​Their lives, memories, and legacies are dearly missed and will forever remain an cherished part of our Welty community. 🕯🤍
