We are excited to announce our upcoming Ruby Bridges “Walk to School” event and invite you to be a part of this meaningful celebration. This special event, a collaboration between Kyrene de las Brisas Elementary School and Kyrene Aprende Middle School, symbolizes our shared commitment to unity, community, and the legacy of Ruby Bridges.

Ruby Bridges “Walk to School” event is more than just a walk—it's a powerful opportunity for our students to learn about and honor Ruby Bridges' courageous journey as the first African American student to integrate an all-white elementary school in the South. By participating, we are helping our students understand the importance of standing up for what is right, fostering inclusivity, and building a stronger, more united community. This event encourages our students to recognize the impact of positive change and the role they can play in promoting equality and justice in their own lives.

Our Ruby Bridges “Walk to School” event will take place on Thursday, November 14, 2024. The day will begin with an inspiring outdoor assembly at 8:30 AM, and we warmly invite all parents to attend.

Brisas is an AVID school and this is a recommended list of school supplies for students.
