Dia De Los Muertos Skulls at Tower Rock and Merrimac
Earlier this month, 3rd graders at Tower Rock and 3/4's at Merrimac learned about the Mexican holiday, Day of the Dead.
They learned to draw a skull, then added symmetrical designs.
The final step was to color their designs using vibrant colors and add some sparkle.
