Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day Thank You
We are so thankful to LCTA and the PTA's IDEA Committee for coming together to celebrate Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day on 11/14. Latrania Martin, Alexandria Black History Museum representative and Douglas MacArthur Elementary School librarian, was the guest speaker and we are grateful she was so giving of her time. The students walked around the block to honor Ruby Bridges and all who worked tirelessly to end segregation in schools.
Rangoli Art
In our November monthly newsletter that went home in student folders, the IDEA Committee included a blank rangoli. As a way of celebrating Diwali, we asked LCTA students to color the rangoli and email us their work at idea@lctapta.org.
We received three beautiful pictures.
Thank you, Gabriel Rusznak, Lucas Rusznak and Kaliru Sundaramoorthy!
