Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day
Walk and Roll around your community, November 14th, 2024!
We are hosting RPS first Ruby Bridges Walk to School day on November 14th, at Hoover Elementary & Riverside Elementary. We celebrate Ruby's courageous and historic act by encouraging students to walk to school and engaging in a day of dialogue about activism, anti-racism, and anti-bullying. The goal is to inspire kids to make positive changes in their school and community.
Winter Walk to School Day
Winter Walk to School Day, February 5th, 2025!
Bundling up and playing in the snow is a cherished activity for students, so we celebrate with our annual Winter Walk to School Day! Whether it’s walking to school for classes or exploring your neighborhood with family, we hope you will get out and enjoy this wonderful, wintry season! After all, this is Minnesota, the land of ice fishing, hockey, cross-country skiing, fat biking, and sledding – why wouldn’t we throw a Walk (and Bike) to School Day party in the middle of the winter?
