Station Physical Education students are challenged while using their new permanent traverse climbing wall. With the generosity of the Station PTO, the P.E. dept. is using this teaching station as part of their fitness curriculum. Ofrendas honoring the Aztec and Mayan civilizations were created by 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Spanish students. The Mexican celebration of Los Dias de los Muertos (The Days of the Dead) is held on Nov. 1 and 2 to honor departed loved ones. This year, the Spanish students of Srta. Davos, Srta. Kalland, Sra. Semrad and Sra. Groat combined their study of the ancient civilizations with their study of this traditional holiday.
