Birney’s walking school bus celebrates Ruby Bridges Walk-to-School Day
This week Birney Elementary School celebrated Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day. November 14 marked the 64th anniversary of Bridges becoming the first Black student to integrate an all-white elementary school in New Orleans at just six years old.
This day held special significance at Birney, where walking is not just a mode of transportation but a community tradition. Every school day, a walking school bus escorts over 80 students safely to school, thanks to a partnership between the City of Tacoma and the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department. Led by adult volunteers and school staff, the walking school bus is helping students form healthy habits, learn pedestrian safety, and build a stronger sense of community among students, families, and neighbors. Birney utilizes the city’s Safe Routes to School maps, which provide suggested routes to each TPS elementary school.
