Posted by student ASHLEY DAVIS – Twenty-one Clinton School students took part in the JCCA Walk for CommUNITY on Sunday to raise funds and awareness for Just Communities of Central Arkansas (JCCA), an organization that “advances diversity, challenges assumptions and promotes understanding through educational programs and advocacy.”
More than 900 people turned out for the walk, creating a lively atmosphere with representatives from many organizations and groups, including Little Rock Central High School, Alltel, Little Rock Athletic Club, and Arkansas Lighthouse for the Blind, just to name a few. The walk started at the River Market and crossed the Main Street Bridge, ending back at the River Market for a pizza party.
I’m happy to report that during the team roll call the Clinton School team represented the School loudly (and received a hearty cheer from the crowd as well)!
Participants: Josh Stokes, Ali Turro, Julianne Dunn, Emily Fischer, Adam Penman, Lindsey Barnett, Spirit Trickey-Rowan, Lisa Porterfield-Thompson, Alejandro Aviles, Dimas Espinola, Sarah Clark, Regina Wilkerson, James Szehner, John Memmer, Tezira Jamwa, Tina Tian, Beatrice Biira, Joanna Klak, Ashley Davis, Nicholas Hall, Vivianne Rossi, and her husband Flavio and daughter Raquel.
