Aug. 23: More Bus Routes, Less Summer

1. More Bus Routes: Keeping with this week's theme of student transportation, today we're posting the Johnston bus routes to private schools, including St. Rocco, St. Philip in Greenville, Trinity Christian Academy, and Mount St. Charles Academy in Woonsocket. In case you missed the previous ones, here they are:

2. Less Summer: With the start of school scheduled for Aug. 29, that doesn't leave a whole lot of time to get the kids outdoors — and today is the perfect day for it: Mostly sunny with highs in the 80s. About the same through the end of the week into early next week, so there's no excuse to let the young'ins stay indoors.
