Dia De Muertos 2025

Our 2025 Día de Muertos celebration was a beautiful way to honor tradition and strengthen the bonds of our community during these challenging times. Students wowed audiences with performances they have been working hard to perfect and enjoyed hands-on arts and crafts. Families savored authentic comfort foods like pan de muerto and champurrado.

A heartfelt thank you to all the parents who devoted countless hours to decorating and bringing our Talavera theme to life. We hope everyone enjoyed the celebration as much as we loved creating it for you!

Parent Leaders in the Classrooms

Following a week of initial training, our dedicated parent leaders began supporting teachers and students in the classroom on October 20th. Their commitment and collaboration enhance the learning environment and strengthen the connection between school and home.

We encourage families to ask their children if a parent leader is present in their classroom and to learn more about the ways they contribute to student success. We are pleased to have parent leaders actively engaged at Graves, Walker, and Wharton this year, and we sincerely appreciate their invaluable support.
