Cinco de Mayo is a yearly celebration held on May 5 which commemorates the anniversary of Mexico's victory over the Second French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. This year, Amargosa Valley Schools held their own Cinco de Mayo celebration, complete with folklore dancing and readings performed by pre-K through 5th grade students. Ava Proulx and Alma Williams organized the family-friendly event, which drew a large and enthusiastic crowd to the Amargosa Valley Community Center.
