Què orgullo latino from our Puertas Club in the Homecoming parade today!

Amazing field trip yesterday exploring Sugar Skull City in downtown Aurora with Puertas! We saw beautiful ofrendas & street art, heard from an admirable local artist, and were inspired by IL State Rep Barbara Hernandez! Thank you @alexandria_rios for joining & supporting us!

Feliz Día de los Muertos—a holiday that recognizes those who helped shape us and whose love continues to guide us and shine through us. Thank you for supporting Puertas and celebrating with us. We hope you have a meaningful and reflective holiday remembering those you love!
