I would like to thank the school where this project will take place, Highland Bicultural School. This assignment will be used to explain the origins of the festivity we call Halloween. Since this day is a little difficult to understand to some people from Latin America, i thought it would be a fun project to do at school. Thank you so much for your support to my school. parents and students!
