\u201cRiverview is rooted in celebrating diversity and embracing cultures represented within the school,\u201d Riverview Principal Adam Volek said in a press release. \u201cAs part of our dual-language program, students in kindergarten through eighth grade learned about the importance of D\u00eda de los Muertos in their classes as a way to deepen their understanding of customs and beliefs of many Spanish-speaking cultures throughout the world.\u201d <\/p>\n

Riverview\u2019s parent volunteer group is organizing the event. Students will showcase what they\u2019ve learned from 3:45 \u2013 4:30 p.m., followed by dinner and the dance performance. Families are invited to bring dinner items for the taco bar potluck.<\/p>\n

A middle school dance party will follow from 6 \u2013 7:30 p.m. at the school.<\/p>\n
