Jack Fields Sr. Elementary Library Celebrates "Dia de los Muertos"

Jack Fields Sr. Elementary Students learned about 

'Dia de los Muertos":

a Latin American celebration in the library on October 31st, 2019.  Students wrote their names in cursive and then cut them out to create skeleton bodies for their personalized Day of the Dead Skull.

The whimsical skeletons and skulls for Day of the Dead are a playful symbol of life after death, many times representing those who have died engaging in their favorite activities.
