Gary High School Spanish 2 classes recently visited the Michelson Museum of Art in Marshall to observe a traditional "ofrenda" for the Day of the Dead. They learned more about the traditions associated with the Hispanic holiday "Día de los Muertos" and the meaning behind each item placed on the altar to celebrate the dead. While visiting the museum, the students were also able to look at the different art collections and complete an art work of their own.
Just a reminder that our Class of 2027 is doing a Haunted Trail this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 7PM until the ghosts get tired! We hope everyone can come check it out!
