Remembering those no longer with us

Rosa Rodriguez, a junior, decorates her tribute to singer Selena on Monday for her Día de los Muertos Spanish class project at Kennewick High School.

Teacher Corie Schorer assigned students to pick a person to honor during the traditional Mexican holiday.

They researched an individual, decorated an altar with pictures and traditional food and will give a speaking presentation about their project.

The Day of the Dead is traditionally celebrated on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1-2 to remember friends and relatives and to help their spiritual journey.
