JOIN US! Meet at the corner of Franklin Lane and Happy Valley Road
at 8am on Friday, November 14th and we'll walk to school together.
Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day honors the living legacy of civil rights activist Ruby Bridges. Every November 14th, we celebrate Ruby's courageous and historic act by encouraging students to walk to school.
In 1960, six-year-old Ruby Bridges etched her name in history when she integrated all-white William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans. Since then, Ruby has become a national icon for her courageous action and continues to inspire people to stand up to racism and bullying.
