💀🌼 Ada High School’s Language Club gathered to learn about Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) last week — a vibrant celebration that honors the lives of loved ones who have passed. Officially celebrated on November 1st and 2nd, this tradition has Mexican and Indigenous roots and is now embraced by many cultures around the world.
Students explored the meaning behind the holiday’s colorful customs and decorated their own “calaveras” (skulls) — both on sugar skulls and as cookie creations! 🍪🎨
It was a fun and meaningful way to learn about another culture’s traditions and the beauty of remembering those who came before us. ❤️💐 #AdaBulldogs #LanguageClub #DiaDeLosMuertos
