Students in Dr. Franco's class celebrated El Día de Muertos (the Day of the Dead) yesterday. This is Mexican holiday where families remember their deceased relatives on November 1 and 2. People usually put altars or offerings and include decorations with objects; displays of the deceased's favorite foods and drinks, as well as ornamental and personal objects, flowers, candles and photographs of their loved ones.
November is National Military Family Month, a recognition first established in 1996. Since then, November is a time to acknowledge the tremendous sacrifices our military families make. Thank you, military families, for your dedication and service. #pcssdproud #serveall
