Día de los Muertos Display and Presentation

Ms. Murrell's honors and AP students hosted other World Languages classes in the library on Friday.  Students were given a short presentation on the traditions and meaning of the Día de los Muertos celebration.  Afterward, classes were able to view displays of ofrendas (altars), tumbas (graves), calaveras (skulls), cempasuchitl (marigolds) and other Día de los Muertos traditions.
