The Kenwood School Spanish Club created a Dia de los Muertos shrine celebrating loved ones and welcoming their spirits back to earth. Kindergarten through 6th grade students all contributed to the shrine. The Kindergarteners made butterflies, 1st and 2nd grade did Yo Recuerdo banners, 3rd made hombre escaletos (skeletons), 4th wrote letters to loved ones, 5th made salt dough sugar skulls, and 6th made paper maché sugar skulls. Dia de los Muertos is a Mexican holiday that usually runs anywhere from Oct. 31 to Nov. 4.
