We are excited to announce that our school will be participating in Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day on Thursday, November 14! This event honors the courage and legacy of Ruby Bridges, who, at six years old, bravely helped to desegregate her school in 1960, becoming an inspiring figure in the Civil Rights Movement.
This special day gives students the chance to learn about Ruby Bridges’ story, promote inclusivity and kindness, and participate in a community event. We encourage students and families to walk together to school on this day, joining us in reflecting on the importance of courage, equality, and friendship.
For families who are unable to walk, we still encourage participation by discussing Ruby Bridges’ story at home or joining us in other ways to make this day meaningful for all.
Thank you for helping us honor this important legacy. Together, let’s make a positive impact and inspire our students to continue creating an inclusive future!
