The Bellaire High School Spanish National Honor Society (SNHS) celebrated the annual Dia de Los Muertos Festival at the Multicultural Education and Counseling through the Arts (MECA) center last Saturday, Nov. 1. The members volunteered at various stations such as the elote (traditional seasoned corn on the cob) booth to help serve, the kitchen to help prepare the meat, and the children’s booth to lead the face paint and craft activities.
