Sugar Skulls for our Ofrenda

Help me give my students the opportunity to decorate sugar skulls for Dia De Los Muertos. These sugar skulls will be on display on our school ofrenda that we put up yearly to remember our family and friends.

My Project

Here at WES we celebrate our diverse population. We have many members of the Latino community in our school community. For this reason we have started a tradition of building a school ofrenda for Dia De Los Muertos.

Next year we would like to start adding decorated sugar skulls to our school ofrenda.

We will use these molds and supplies to form our sugar skulls before we decorate them.

Please help us add this awesome experience of making and decorating sugar skulls to put on display for our yearly celebration.
