During Hispanic Heritage Month, our seventh and eighth grade students have been learning about Dia de Los Muertos (Nov. 1-2) in Ms. Malika Bryant's Art class. Dia de Los Muertos is a day when many Mexicans commemorate their deceased family members and ancestors and comes at the beginning of November, when many Catholics pray for the repose of the souls of those who have passed before us.
The DC City Council yesterday approved a petition by our Ward 1 council member Brianne K.
