Shirley Chisholm didn’t just break barriers—she shattered them. As the first Black woman elected to the U.S. Congress, she made history in 1968, but her impact goes far beyond her political achievements. Known for her fierce determination and unapologetic advocacy, Chisholm challenged the status quo, demanding justice and equality for all, no matter the cost. In 1972, she became the first Black woman to run for President, proving that there are no limits to what we can achieve when we refuse to be confined by society’s expectations. Shirley’s motto was simple: ‘If they don’t give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair.’ Her legacy continues to inspire every generation to dream big, fight hard, and break through every barrier in their way. #BlackHistoryMonth #ShirleyChisholm #UnbossedAndUnbowed #Trailblazer #LegacyOfLeadership

Honoring the timeless wisdom of James Baldwin this Black History Month. As a groundbreaking writer, essayist, and social critic, Baldwin's work laid bare the complexities of race, identity, and the Black experience in America. His powerful books, like Go Tell It on the Mountain and The Fire Next Time, ignited conversations on race and civil rights that are still relevant today. Baldwin was not just a writer, but a fierce advocate for justice, using his platform to challenge systemic oppression, both in America and abroad. As an openly gay Black man, his courage to speak truth to power broke boundaries in ways that continue to inspire us to confront the uncomfortable truths of our world. His legacy reminds us that literature can be a catalyst for change. #BlackHistoryMonth #JamesBaldwin #LiteraryGiant #ActivismThroughArt #LegacyOfTruth

During Black History Month, we honor the trailblazing Tuskegee Airmen, a group of African American pilots and support staff who shattered racial barriers during World War II. Trained at the Tuskegee Army Airfield in Alabama, these heroes flew over 15,000 combat sorties and earned over 150 Distinguished Flying Crosses. Despite facing discrimination, they proved their unmatched skill, becoming the first Black military aviators in U.S. history. Their success not only changed the course of the war but also helped pave the way for desegregation in the U.S. Armed Forces. The Tuskegee Airmen’s legacy is a testament to courage, perseverance, and the relentless pursuit of equality. #BlackHistoryMonth #TuskegeeAirmen #BreakingBarriers #LegacyOfExcellence

🌟 Celebrating School Choice Week at Riverwalk Academy! 🌟
As we celebrate the power of school choice, we're reminded of the incredible impact that a caring, dedicated staff can have on students. Riverwalk Academy parent and PTO member, Kristine Ramirez, perfectly sums up what makes RWA so special:
✨ "What I love the most about RWA is the staff. The staff takes the time to get to know all of the students as individuals. Several of the staff members are known to regularly attend student events the children participate in outside of school hours. It is nice to walk into a school where everyone knows your child, encourages them, and greets them with a smile." ✨
At Riverwalk Academy, it's not just about education — it's about building relationships and creating a supportive community where every student is seen, heard, and encouraged to thrive. ❤️

In celebration of School Choice Week, it’s always inspiring to hear from our students about the place they call home. Dylan Hawkins, a 10th grader, shared his thoughts on Riverwalk:
“The reason I love Riverwalk is because of the community. All of my teachers have been great and all of the staff members are amazing. I feel like I actually get to interact with the staff and teachers and they listen to what we as students need. I really just feel like the students and staff are very integrated and it creates a great environment to learn in and be a part of."

As we continue celebrating School Choice Week, we want to share what our current families have to say about Riverwalk Academy:
"Riverwalk Academy is more than just a school; it's a family. The small environment allows teachers to provide one-on-one support while truly getting to know each student as an individual, not just another face in the crowd. The project-based learning curriculum prepares students for the real world and encourages them to think outside the box. Watching our kids grow and succeed both academically and personally each year reassures us that choosing Riverwalk Academy was the right decision for our family."
