In March 2007, 3rd grade teacher, Mrs. Venezia, had her class participate in the "Bonnie Plants Crazy Cabbage Program". This program is sponsored by Bonnie Plants who wants to share their love of gardening with students. The program also awards one winner from each state a $1,000 scholorship!
Each student received a cabbage seedling in a paper cup. They were to nourish and care for their plant and watch it grow. Victoria DeTrolio (now in 4th grade) took special care of this project along with help from mom and dad, Linda and Paul , and was the only student in her class able to watch her cabbage grow to a magnificant 40 lbs. The cabbage was harvested on July 31 and was entered in the NJ State Fair where she received Second Place in the Open Vegetable Show.
Victoria will now go on to represent our school in the Bonnie Plants contest and hopes to win the $1000 scholarship!
Good Luck Victoria!

| St. Rose Students Raise a total of $4,500 for charities! |
 |
|
Students, teachers, families and friends raised over $4,500 for two recent charity fund-raising events, supporting St. Jude's Children's Hospital and The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
During the month of January, students participated in a math-a-thon completing hundreds of math problems to raise $3,069 for the St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. Many students earned t-shirts and back packs. Our top fund-raiser, Steven Kunis, raised $160 and won a digital camera. Since the school raised over $3000, St. Rose also earned a prize! Principal, Ms. Tomlinson, with the assistance from our middle school science teacher Mrs. Lato, selected a weather station that will help with science lessons.
The school quickly changed into "Pennies for Patients" mode to raise money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. During the 3 week program, classes competed against each other to try to raise the most money and exceeded the school’s $1,000 goal to raise a total of $1,500. The kindergarten class collected the most in donations with $345.00.
Congratulations and many thanks to all the students, teachers, friends and families who helped St. Rose make a $4,500 difference in the lives of those battling serious illnesses.
