We Walk For Ruby!

Edmunds Elementary hosted our second annual Ruby Bridges walk on Thursday, November 14.  Edmunds staff and students were joined by family and community partners from Roosevelt, Callanan, John Deere, Oakridge, the Des Moines School Board, and other community partners.  Leading up to the day of the walk, students enjoyed a guest appearance by Oakridge President and CEO, Deidre De Jear, who read a book about Ruby Bridges and spoke with and answered student questions. Students also learned the role Ruby Bridges played in the Civil Rights Movement when she was only 6 years old.
