Today's Cool School is Opelousas High School!
The Spanish Club and Spanish National Honor Society were invited to perform in the opening act for the Day of the Dead Festival n New Orleans earlier this month. There, they honored Latin American and Catholic traditions. Day of the Dead is a holiday that celebrates the ancestors and loved ones who have gone before us and it's a very colorful celebration.
OHS students performed a traditional Mexican dance, wearing brilliant colors in their traditional clothing. Not only were they given the opportunity to open the show, but they also were able to enjoy different activities including art, music, and a variety of Latin American food!
