Estimados Padres de familia,
Thank you to our Spanish Immersion Parent and Teacher Association (SIPAT) for sponsoring such an amazing Día de Muertos “Spoken Word” Event virtually on Monday, November 2, 2020, 6:00-8:00 p.m. Over 60 CCE and community participants joined with a combined effort from parents, Georgia Wade, Melissa Moreno, Steve Nyholm and Peggy Enderle coordinated a collective and festive debut from poet, Ernesto Garay, CCE students and families who sang songs, played music, wrote and read aloud poems. In addition, virtual musical performances by Mariachi Puente with special visit from co-directors Hiram and Ximena Jackson were major contributors in support of our school wide event. Finally, the event concluded with a
CCE Dia de los muertos Virtual Ofrenda presentation where members of our community honored a love one in special memory.
School events such as this is continuing to build community and resilience, and I look forward to finding many more ways to connect with one another safely during these times.
Sinceramente,
Sra. Dunn
