The PTAs from Arroyo Vista, Marengo and Monterey Hills elementary schools teamed up with the South Pasadena Public Library to hold a Dia de los Muertos celebration on Nov. 3. The activities included a flower-making workshop, the creation of an altar and a special performance by the Danza Azteca group Tlalli Iyollo, who performed in front of the library’s main entrance. The public was encouraged throughout the week to drop by the community altar and leave special messages, photos and paper flowers in remembrance of loved ones who have died. -Photos courtesy South Pasadena Public Library
