Spanish Classes Celebrate Mexican Holiday

Submitted by Mr. Jeffrey Ohl

On November 2, some Spanish classes at the middle school recently discussed the Mexican holiday that is becoming more popular, The Day of the Dead. It sounds like a scary or sad holiday, but it is actually one of joy and remembrance. Some students made some Day of the Dead treats to share while we talked about and watched a video about the holiday. The holiday actually runs from October 31 to November 2.  A video clip provides more background. Be sure to catch the new movie “Coco” coming out at the end of November. It’s about a boy that experiences the other side of The Day of the Dead.
