"Creating the sugar skulls and art work is always a wonderful experience for our students" exclaims our visual art director Kathryn Forrest. Kathryn and Irene Arellano organized our annual contribution to the Noche de Altares at the Fiesta Plaza in Downtown Santa Ana. A chance for our students and families to celebrate loved ones who have passed. At the same time a wonderful way of celebrating the cultural heritage of Mexico. Thank you Kathryn and Irene for your hard work! Please remember us during the Holiday Gift Giving. Click the link to make a donation. Thank you so much! Muchisima Gracia!
