It's no coincidence that Vicente Fox, Mexico's president-elect, has Irish and Spanish heritage, said Willie Perez, Miller High School's community relations principal. And it's the same thing here at Miller. We're celebrating diversity, not by looking at the things that divide us but at the things that bring us together. Buccaneers past and present honored that diversity Friday as Miller High School celebrated Diez y Seis de Septiembre, Mexico's Independence Day. Today The Consulate of Mexico and the South Texas Amigos de Mexico Committee presents Dieciseis de Septiembre Celebration 2000.
Event features a carnival, food, beverages, arts and crafts.
