Students Celebrate Día de los Muertos

These altars are traditionally built in homes, schools, or other public places to honor the deceased. Family members will top the altar with a large photo of the loved one, along with colorful papel picado, which translates to "perforated paper."

Profesora Rama said, “They are excited to honor their loved ones and famous idols that have passed away. We will have them on display in the display case in the middle school for the next two weeks.”

Be sure to stop by and see them if you’re at WMS!
