Don't forget to set your clocks back one hour when you go to bed tonight. Daylight Saving Time ends at 2 a.m. - meaning you "gain" an hour of sleep. There are only two states that don't observe DST: Hawaii and Arizona (with the exception of Navajo Nation). #pcssdproud #serveall

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

Ms. Martin's art classes have begun the papermaking process! By taking recycled paper and a bit of construction paper, students experimented with different size frames and different colors of paper. Each student found their role in the process by either using the blender, pressing the paper or organizing the drying paper. The paper will be used in a nature collage project. Ms. Benton's 6th grade class came over as a guest class to join the fun!

Our Spanish students have been working on a project for Día de Muertos, a tradition that honors deceased loved ones and celebrates their lives on November 1 and 2. They created: 🌺“ La Catrina,” which symbolizes the cycle of life and serves as a reminder to enjoy life and accept death. 🌺 “Ofrenda,” an altar where students placed photos of athletes, musicians, artists, writers, PCSSD coworkers, family members, pets, and more who recently passed away.

🎃Happy Halloween!🎃 If your family celebrates, share what your student will dress up as this year! #pcssdproud #serveall
