✨ Celebrating Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day! ✨
Last week, our students honored Ruby Bridges, one of the bravest leaders in the Civil Rights Movement, by participating in Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day. 🚶🏽♀️💜
We loved seeing our students walk together in unity, courage, and kindness, just like Ruby did at only six years old. Her story reminds us that even the smallest among us can make a big difference.
Thank you to all the families and students who joined in! 💛
Let’s continue to stand for inclusivity, courage, and positive change every day.
