#McCrackenProud to see this snow plow in action, painted by MCHS student Reagan Sunderland through the KYTC Paint the Plow program. And, thank you to Mrs. Greene, who spearheaded this opportunity for our art students!
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s Paint the Plow program promotes safe driving during the snow and ice season. This initiative gives Kentucky high school students the chance to paint a real snowplow blade that will be used in their community to help keep roads safe all winter long.
