Ruby Bridges Walk to School day is Monday, November 14th. The David Lubin Diversity, Equity & Inclusion committee worked with the First Grade Teachers to plan this event. We encourage you to wear purple on Nov. 14 for our special Monday Rally led by the 1st grade classes, followed by a walk around the field.
