Commissioner Pepe Cabeza de Vaca, representing District 6, has officially proclaimed October 2025 as Native Plant Month in McAllen.
Native plants are vital to our natural and cultural heritage and to the very air we breathe. The Tamaulipan Thornforest and other native habitats in the Rio Grande Valley support species found nowhere else in the U.S.
This month, we’re planting more than 2,000 native plants through initiatives like Tiny Forests, School Butterfly Gardens, and Community Plant Giveaways. An additional 20,000 plants will be added this fall as part of the Center for Urban Ecology expansion at Quinta Mazatlán.
Quinta Mazatlán is also hosting over 30 educational programs, including the VIP Night “Very Important Plants” on October 16. McAllen’s trees contribute over $5 million annually in ecosystem services and help drive eco-tourism.
Native plants save water, support wildlife, and beautify our city, for today and for generations to come.

🎨 Still Life Through Time at Hinovations
This school year our students have been traveling through history with paintbrush in hand!
We began with Egyptian still lifes, inspired by offerings of food and flowers left to honor the afterlife.
Then we studied Roman banquet scenes, where fruits and vessels celebrated abundance and daily life.
Now, just in time for the season, we’re stepping into the Medieval era. Still lifes of this period often carried deeper meaning—letters illuminated with fruit, and symbolic objects like skulls, reminded viewers of the cycles of life, death, and renewal. Perfect themes as we move into fall. 🍎💀🍇
Still life painting has always been more than just bowls of fruit—it’s a window into culture, belief, and the beauty of everyday objects. Our students are discovering that each brushstroke connects them to centuries of artists before them.
✨ Follow along as we continue our journey through art history all the way into spring!

1. Youth as the Lifeblood of Chess
Spassky highlights that chess, like any cultural or intellectual pursuit, thrives when the next generation embraces it. If young people see chess as exciting, valuable, and rewarding, the game naturally takes a stronger place in society. Conversely, if youth lose interest, chess risks fading into the background, no matter how strong its traditions.
⸻
2. Cultural Relevance
Chess has always mirrored the values of its era. In times when young people viewed it as a path to discipline, honor, and prestige (like in the Soviet Union), it became a central part of education and national identity. Today, when children engage with chess through apps, online communities, and scholastic clubs, they shape the cultural meaning of chess for the digital age.
⸻
3. Education and Growth
Young people represent more than just numbers on a tournament chart; they embody curiosity, creativity, and potential. By learning chess, they bring new ideas, approaches, and even playful experimentation to the game. This keeps chess evolving rather than stagnating in old forms. The place of chess in schools, after-school programs, and family homes depends largely on how children perceive its usefulness—whether as a tool for learning, a social activity, or simply fun.
⸻
4. Responsibility of Adults
Spassky’s words also serve as a call to action for parents, teachers, coaches, and club organizers. If society wants chess to hold a meaningful place, it must inspire young people through creative teaching methods, engaging formats, and visible role models. Adults are the bridge—shaping that initial spark of curiosity into a lasting love for the game.
⸻
5. The Legacy Factor
Every chess master was once a beginner. If youth are nurtured with positive experiences in chess, they will carry those values forward as players, coaches, and advocates. The health of chess fifty years from now will depend on how today’s children relate to the game.
⸻
✅ In essence: Spassky reminds us that the survival and importance of chess in society is not determined by past champions or current federations—it rests in the hands of the young. If they see chess as a meaningful part of life, it will flourish; if not, it will wither.
