Celebrated in Mexico, Día de los Muertos has roots in both ancient Aztec customs and All Souls' Day introduced by the Spanish in the 1500s. This holiday centers on families gathering to pay respect to friends and family who have died. #pcssdproud #serveall
Happy Halloween from the students and staff of Mills University Studies High School! We may have older students, but we still love to dress up and have fun. Today was a good day to show off creativity and artistry. Now . . . time to trick or treat!
At our campus, we wear our AVID shirts on Wednesday! AVID, which stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination, includes learning goals that are centered around student agency, rigorous academic preparedness, opportunity knowledge, and fostering a learning environment that emphasizes collaboration, inquiry, organization, writing, and reading. We are preparing our students for enrollment, employment, enlistment, or entrepreneurship!
Ms. Prewitt's AP Psychology class made models of the eyeball today tying in the curriculum with Halloween! They may seem creepy, but the cornea, pupil, iris, lens, retina, sclera, and optic nerve are all important parts of the eyeball and can play a part in color blindness, optical illusions, and more!
🎃Happy Halloween!🎃 If your family celebrates, share what your student will dress up as this year! #pcssdproud #serveall
