Students throughout Topeka Public Schools celebrated Freedom
Week and Constitution Day the week of September 14-18. A great deal of the emphasis was on the life
of Rosa Parks. It was 60 years ago that Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama.
On Friday of that week, students either marched around their
school or to a nearby location as part of the week activities. Quincy Elementary students made signs and
marched from their school to NOTO.
Students also went from room to room to see the activities each class
had participated in during
the week.
