November’s Walking Wednesday Celebrates Ruby Bridges
Get some fresh air and keep moving on November’s Walking Wednesday, November 18, an opportunity for students and their families to walk in their neighborhoods for a boost of energy and for neighbors to reconnect at a safe social distance. Families are encouraged to chalk the sidewalk and find other ways to cheer on their neighbors as they walk in their neighborhoods. Remember to maintain a safe distance from others and follow all COVID-19 safety protocols.
November’s event is dedicated to Ruby Bridges, the elementary student who, as the first African American student to integrate William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans, was escorted to school by federal marshals in 1960.
The Safe Routes to School office is promoting Walking Wednesdays throughout the year, with a different theme each month. Walking Wednesdays are a county-wide initiative in partnership with the Fairfax County Park Authority’s Move Your Way and Healthy Strides campaigns. Inova Fairfax and the Partnership for a Healthier Fairfax also support the campaign.
