But they built a new school on the lot (former playground area) and it still occupies the same property. The new playground is where the old school once stood. They built the new school for an increase in population (there were two elementary schools in town and they sold one off in the 70s--- they accommodated population changes by first moving 5th grade to middle school and then building the new school). IMO they should not have sold the old school in the 70s.
