After learning about the recent restoration of the Parisian catacombs, our McDonald High School French students embarked on an eerie adventure into the depths of the newly renovated “catacombs” of MHS!
Students worked their way through the experience by decoding information written in French on hidden tombstones, using their language skills to escape while also learning about the history of the famous Paris catacombs.

McDonald Spanish 4 students spent the day teaching their fellow Spanish classes about Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) through their interactive (Un)Living Museum / Escape Room!
Each class was led by a “spirit guide” through different stations, including a cemetery and an altar, where students learned about the origins of the celebration, its traditions, and the deeply spiritual beliefs connected to honoring loved ones who have passed.
The experience ended with a fun fact scavenger hunt—with their souls on the line! 👻 Students had to find the answers to their questions before time ran out in order to earn permission to return to the land of the living.
Spoiler alert: Everyone made it out alive! 🎉

🌮🇪🇸 Cooking Up Culture in Spanish 3! 🇲🇽🍅
Señora Ronghi’s Spanish 3 students have been diving into the foods and cultures of Spanish-speaking countries through a hands-on unit packed with creativity, competition and, of course, plenty of tasting!
Students have roleplayed in their own version of Hell’s Kitchen, researched and prepared authentic dishes from Spanish-speaking countries for their classmates to try, and will wrap up the unit by designing 3D food trucks and menus featuring their chosen country’s national symbols.
Today, students learned how to cook like abuelas, making their own chips and salsa completely from scratch! 👵🌶️
It’s a fun and delicious way for our Blue Devils to practice Spanish while gaining a deeper appreciation for the cultures they are studying.

Roosevelt Elementary was proudly represented at the 2026 OMEA District 5 Honors Choir Event! Six of our elementary musicians joined students from more than a dozen local schools to participate in the first-ever OMEA District 5 Honors Children’s Choir.
Their concert on Saturday at Stambaugh Auditorium was exhilarating, especially considering the group had only seven hours of rehearsal together!
Participating students were Auggie B., Eliza C., Alonah G., Wesley R., Olivia S., and Channing S.
