As we neared the end of October Ms. Anna's Spanish class and MEChA collaborated to create a beautiful altar for the school.

WhatisDíadelos Muertos?

Día de los Muertos is believed to have origins dating back to the Aztec empire. It is celebrated on November 1-2nd every year to honor and celebrate the lives of those who have passed on.

It is most famouly observed in Mexico, but also is similarily celebrated in countries like China and Japan

Every year families will go to the grave of their loved ones and place food, flowers and personal items to remember them and ensure safe passage through worlds.

MEChA already wanted a way to celebrate Día de los Muertos, and Ms Anna Warner was eager to participate in the holiday.

A group of students from her AM and PM class worked together to create an altar that the whole school is allowed take part in.

These students were Alex Tejeda, David Maya, Angelina Jauregui, Jayden Dial, Khriz Guzman, Madeleine Mann, Miah Nuñez, Ramses Juarez, Rebecca RolonVargas, Zayra Flores and myself.
