Mexican culture is incredibly rich, diverse, and deeply rooted in history, and there are a few key aspects that I would want people around the world to know: It is shaped by a blend of ancient civilizations like Aztecs, Mayans, Olmecs, along with Spanish influence. This blend has created a unique heritage that's reflected in its language, art, traditions, beliefs and cuisines. The Mexican culture is so much more than the negative stereotypes often portrayed by media. While issues like violence and cartels are real and should not be ignored, they do not define the richness and complexity of Mexico’s culture or its people. Mexico has a profound celebration of life, creativity, and history, and it stands for so much more than the challenging issues that sometimes dominate headlines. Its contributions to art, science, philosophy, and humanity as a whole are vast and enduring.- Romina Maldonado

On Monday, August 19, McCracken County Schools proudly joined districts across the state in wearing pink to honor the memory of Lucy, a beloved 4th-grade student from Henderson County, KY, who tragically passed away after collapsing during recess on her first day of school.
In honor of Lucy’s love for the color pink, we wore pink yesterday to show our solidarity with her family and the Henderson County community during this heartbreaking time.
Our hearts are with Lucy's family and all who knew and loved her.
