FHS Spanish classes celebrated and learned about Dia de Muertos during the month of November. This is a holiday to celebrate, honor and remember our loved ones who have passed away. This is a colorful and joyful celebration and is often misunderstood in the United States. Spanish I and II decorated sugar skulls (calaveras de azucar) and skeletons (calacas).
