Trinity's walking school bus? It's elementary - St. Petersburg Times:
"Trinity's walking school bus? It's elementary
Cars began rolling into the Fox Wood Park parking lot at 9 a.m. sharp. Moms pulled up to the curb and the doors flew open, little children emerging with backpacks and lunch boxes.
Guiga Vieira and her kids, 7-year-old Lucas and 5-year-old Isabela, greeted them all as they arrived to walk to Trinity Elementary School together. In just a month, the walking school bus that Vieira started up has grown from a handful of participants to more than 40.
'Every week, we get two or three more families,' Vieira said. 'Now that they see it's working, the kids want to walk.'
Trinity Elementary leaders are thrilled with the community effort to have children walk to campus, which is just three blocks from the park, rather than drive."
