Dia de los Muertos at
El Museo del Barrio
Fifth graders learned about the Mexican Dia de los
Muertos (Day of the Dead) holiday on a field trip to
El Museo del Barrio. During this three-day holiday,
families and friends gather to pray and to celebrate
loved ones who have died. The field trip is conducted
in conjunction with the school’s Spanish immersion
program in which our boys learn both the language
and the culture of Spanish speaking people. The
immersive experience culminates with a Spain Study
Tour during the summer when the boys are rising
eighth graders.
Informed by their visit to El Museo del Barrio, Ms. Brenes’
Spanish class made their own offerta or altar.
