11.14.2025: Ruby Bridge's Walk to School Day

The community is invited to attend a special event at La Pine Frontier Heritage Park at 9:15 a.m. on Friday, November 14, 2025, to commemorate nationally recognized "Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day." In 1960, six-year-old Ruby Bridges made history when she became the first Black student to attend an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. This event is intended as a way to celebrate friendship, courage, and the idea that everyone deserves to feel safe and welcome at school. The event will showcase Ruby Bridges' courageous walk, including guest speakers, a group photo, and a group walk to La Pine Elementary.
