Walk and Roll around your community, November 14th, 2025!

Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day is back for its second year on November 14th! On this day, we celebrate Ruby’s brave first steps into history by taking a few steps of our own—walking to school together! Along the way, we’ll spark conversations about standing up for what’s right, showing kindness, and saying “no” to bullying.

The heart of the day is simple: inspiring kids to believe they can make a difference in their school and community.

Find out more about this day.

Our very first RPS Ruby Bridges Walk kicked off at Riverside and Hoover Elementary in 2024!

Bike at School , May 2026

We want to make your Bike to School event as fun and easy as possible! The nationally celebrated event encourages kids to bike to school and shows families just how wonderful it is to get to school by bike or foot. Join us by encouraging events at your school or simply trying it with your family.

Pump up your bike tires—Rochester Safe Routes to School’s Bike at School is back May 4–23!

May is National Bike Month, and we’re celebrating by highlighting active routes to school. Students are encouraged to try biking, scootering, skateboarding, or rollerblading for short trips—whether that’s getting to school or heading to after-school activities.

Active transportation helps students build independence, confidence, and daily physical activity into their routines. Families can support by practicing bike safety skills, riding together, and identifying safe routes in your neighborhood.

We’re hosting events across the district ​early-childhood through - 12th grade and would love support from caregivers, volunteers, and community members. Your presence helps create a fun, safe, and encouraging environment for students.
