The Latinos of Tomorrow float showed their representatives dressed in Dia de los Muertos fashion for their “Coco” themed float. “We chose the theme ‘Coco’ because it represents Mexican culture and it would be very recognizable to the students,” Barrientos-Sanchez said. “I loved driving past the kids and seeing them wave at us and recognize our theme.” photo by Haylee Bell
