St. Theresa School’s Spanish Club has been invited to participate in the Palm Springs Art Museum’s annual Día de los muertos exhibit since the club’s inception in 2008. Our club has erected altars with various themes. These altars contain traditional, aztec, and religious elements depending on the theme. All altars contain the required marigold flowers and candles. An altar on an individual usually displays that person’s photograph, favorite personal possessions, hobby items and preferred foods. Our 2018 altar is in memory of our beloved student and friend Jarrod Dougherty, Jr.
