NOT ALLOWED ON MOST BUSES: Imagine being encouraged to jump around, swing from monkey bars and bounce on a trampoline while in a school bus. That’s just what the Tumblebus offers for preschoolers and parties and it was a hit with the kids at St. Rose.

DESIGNER: All the students and the faculty wore special walking T-shirts for the occasion that had been designed by sixth grader Deirdra Picillo. Deirdra’s hand drawn work was selected from several entries in a T-shirt design contest. School principal Kim Izzi, seen here, congratulated Deirdra on her achievement.

Conditions couldn’t have been better for St. Rose of Lima School fundraising walk Friday morning that took the lower grade students around the block and back to the school yard while the older students and faculty, with a police patrol ensuring the safe crossing of West Shore Road, set out for City Park. After making the round at City Park, they got back to a lunch of Piezoini’s Pizza – always a hit with the kids – chips and lemonade. There were games to follow. The walk raised more than $6,000, which will help offset school costs and stabilize tuition.
