Mrs. Riccioni's class learned about Ruby Bridges during Black History Month. We enjoyed reading stories of Ruby's bravery, The Story of Ruby Bridges by Robert Coles and Ruby Bridges Goes to School: My True Story by Ruby Bridges. We are inspired to be kind to others and appreciate what Ruby did for all of us!
