Park Center Senior High School students celebrate Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead

Park Center Senior High School (PCSH)’s Spanish heritage class transformed the school’s media center last week when they put on a two-day Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, celebration. 

The student-planned and student-run event featured activities such as frame decorating, paper flower making, card writing, masks, hand painting, a photo booth and culturally-specific snacks/candy. Teachers could sign up for times to send their classes through the exhibit on Oct. 30 and 31, giving most of the school an opportunity to learn more about the holiday and its cultural significance for counties and cultures who celebrate this day.
