We are pleased to announce that Sandy and Val have created a beautiful ofrenda (altar) at the SC Office to observe Día de los Mu***os (Day of the Dead), which is traditionally celebrated from October 31st to November 2nd.

Día de los Mu***os is a significant celebration of life in which we remember and honor our deceased loved ones, believing their spirits return to visit. The ofrenda serves as a temporary resting place for their spirits and is decorated with items they enjoyed in life.

We invite all Monarch clients and staff to contribute to the altar:

Photographs: Please feel free to bring copies of photographs of your loved ones to place on the altar.
Offerings and Decorations: You are welcome to bring other traditional offerings or decorations, such as cempasúchil (marigolds), candles, or small mementos.
Food Items: If you wish to bring a favorite food item of your loved one, we kindly request that it be non-perishable (food that does not spoil easily) and completely wrapped in plastic wrap for hygienic purposes.

"DSP Appreciation Week is a chance to pause and recognize the heart, dedication, compassion, and empathy each of you brings to our work every single day. The impact you make doesn’t just show up in job tasks—it shows up in the lives you touch, the skills you help build, the independence you support, and the moments of joy and confidence you spark in the people we serve.

Your patience, creativity, resilience, and kindness do not go unnoticed. Whether it’s teaching life skills, ensuring safety, advocating for choice, or simply being a trusted presence, each of you plays an essential role in helping others thrive. The difference you make is immeasurable, and we are so proud and grateful to have such a strong, compassionate, and empathetic team..."

La Semana de Agradecimiento de DSP es una oportunidad para hacer una pausa y reconocer el corazón, la dedicación, la compasión y la empatía que cada uno de ustedes aporta a nuestro trabajo cada día. El impacto que generan no solo se refleja en sus tareas laborales, sino también en las vidas que impactan, las habilidades que ayudan a desarrollar, la independencia que fomentan y los momentos de alegría y confianza que infunden en las personas a las que servimos.

Su paciencia, creatividad, resiliencia y amabilidad son fundamentales. Ya sea enseñando habilidades para la vida, garantizando la seguridad, defendiendo la libertad de elección o simplemente siendo una presencia de confianza, cada uno de ustedes desempeña un papel esencial para ayudar a otros a prosperar. La diferencia que marcan es inconmensurable, y estamos muy orgullosos y agradecidos de contar con un equipo tan sólido, compasivo y empático...
