DIA DE LOS MUERTOS
Through 11/6 visit the Dia De Los Muertos Exhibit in the Argo Library. We encourage everyone to enjoy all the symbols of this Latin American holiday and use it as a teaching tool. There are signs posted all around explaining the symbols and origins of the holiday. Argo Bears have added a little piece of their family or artwork to the exhibit. Thank you to Mrs. Tawaratsumida's class, Mrs. Kannberg's class, and parent volunteers for putting this on!
Have pictures from Dia De Los Muertos you would like to share with the PTA? Upload them here.
