Today was Dia de los Muertos / Day of the Dead day for Spirit Week here at Greenburgh Academy. It was a blast! We have a large Latino population at our school and in Yonkers, and we even have some non-Mexican students who participated in Mexican folk dancing growing up, so it was a welcome event overall. Students participated in the secular 'ofrenda' to memorialize someone they know who passed away (real life, or famous artist/celebrity). Our very own student Jana participated in face painting her fellow students along with select staff members. Special thanks to the Art Department and ALL other departments for allowing the coordination of the event!
Our Halloween celebration was a hit! We saw so many great costumes not pictured here. More pictures will be made available to the GA community soon, and sooner upon request! A special thank you to Ms. Payton for organizing the whole shindig!
