Minatare High School is "Decking the Halls".

Just before Thanksgiving break, Mr. Guadarrama the Spanish I and II classes discussed the traditional and cultural game that is Loteria. Loteria is similar to bingo, but uses pictures that associate with a word in Spanish. During the holidays, Loteria brings families together and creates traditions.
This game has been so popular that over the years people have created t-shirts. So with that inspiration, each student created their own design and with the help of Mrs. Robbins, they were able to create their very own Loteria t-shirts.
