On Tuesday, Mrs. Salas’ Spanish classes celebrated Día de los Muertos. They got to experience dead bread, sugar skulls, and representations of the dead along with food and candy.

“We do this so that kids are aware of the culture. It makes them more culturally aware,”  spanish teacher Emma Salas said .”We do this so they can see the other side of Halloween. This is Mexico’s version of Halloween.”

Dia de los Muertos is a Mexican celebration to pay respect for the dead. Monday is dedicated to the children, and Tuesday is for all the adults. The main purpose of students celebrating today is to inform them of Mexico’s culture, and expand their knowledge on Mexico.

“It was a cultural experience. I had a lot of fun,” sophomore Camille Billigue said.
