I worked with my family to create an altar to remember my teacher, Ms. Kayla. I miss her and will always remember her.

Every year, in early October, my Nana, my family, and I prepare our Remember Me table, our Ofrenda, in our home. We do this to remember and pay respect to our loved ones who are now in Heaven, but will always live in our hearts. On our Ofrenda, we have a picture of my Grandpa Charles, my great Grandma Lupe, my Great Abuelo and Nana, and our dogs Teddy and Oreo. I like our Ofrenda because it has a lot of bright colors. We also have small objects of the things they liked to eat, like pan dulce and enchiladas. Even though I’m too young to remember them while they were here on Earth, I still miss them very much. That’s why our Remember Me table is so special to me. I also like to watch the movie “Coco”, partly because it helps me understand why it’s so important to have our Ofrenda.

I made my altar with my brother. I was thinking of Ms. Kayla when I colored all the pieces. I will remember her forever.

This is the first time our family has ever put up an ofrenda. Vinny and I made this together and it was really special. I love having this in my home and plan on making it a yearly tradition.

Vinny’s reflection:

“I think it’s important to remember our love ones that died. It helps me think of memories of them.” -Vinny Martinez

We miss and love her very much ❤️❤️ -Alina Lua Year 2

This is our families first year making an ofrenda. We have known about this tradition but never knew all the details. Avery found it interesting, how each day you add something to the ofrenda. On our ofrenda we have friends, family and pets who we miss so much. This will be a new tradition we plan to keep each year! It is important to keep their memory alive. Last night we lit the first candle and put a bowl of water to begin welcoming our pets.

Great-Grandparents, on this sacred

Día de Muertos, candles dance for your gentle souls. Through Mom’s cherished tales, your laughter echoes forever in my memory. Mom always tells me that you watch over me from the stars. This ofrenda welcomes you home. This altar is my way of saying:

I remember you every day.

I love you forever.

—Eternally loved, never forgotten.

—With all my love, Sara

This is our 2nd year putting up an ofrenda. We began what has now become our new tradition last year after losing the matriarch of our family earlier in the year. Morgan’s great grandmother Helen lives deep in our hearts daily. Celebrating her & other passed family members lives for Day of the Dead help keep their memory alive, not only for their sake but for Morgan & her younger brother. Morgan being the youngest female in the family will be the one who will carry on their stories & family traditions such as this…for she is our legacy. 💞

This is the first year Edgar helped his family put together an ofrenda. He enjoyed learning about family members he didn’t get a chance to meet and also share memories of those family members he did remember. Edgar helped put the petals of the marigold flowers on the floor to make a cross. Edgar said the petals smelled sweet and filled the whole room with their scent. Edgar also helped decorate the table and added a sugar skull. We all agreed this was a great experience as a family to talk about our loved ones who are no longer with us.

We put the notes on a branch stick and prayed together. I never met my Grandpa but he is always in my heart. We love & miss you Lolo Paco.

We just started doing this as a family. We recently had a death in the family, my husband's grandmother. We all went to the funeral and it was really hard on our daughter. This altar helped honor her memory and it also started a conversation about her ancestors, who they were, and how they were connected to our family. We also placed our passed beloved pets, especially Buddy who died suddenly.

Our altar was done in remembrance of Yaqui, our pet fish. She was really loved by us and we miss her so much. I had fun creating the altar because I shared with my sister the memories I had of Yaqui, for a fish she was really playful and fun to watch. This is our first time creating and altar and we had fun as a family coming up with ideas to best honor Yaqui.

It has become a beautiful, faithful tradition in our home a way to honor and remember our loved ones.

A meaningful family project we did at home was creating a Día de los Muertos altar (ofrenda) in honor of my grandpa. It became more than just a craft—it was a way for all of us to come together, share memories, and celebrate his life.

My grandpa loved the Green Bay packers, he even had a hat that was a piece of cheese. He was religious and loved his Catholic faith. We will always cherish his laughs, and jokes and the way he cared for us.
