Last week was a bustle of activity in the Spanish classroom, where all students grades 3 through 11, helped to create pieces for a large, group ofrenda installation honoring D’a de los Muertos .

 

Each Spanish class spent time learning about the cultural significance and origins of this important Latin American holiday.
