Pics Of The Day #3478

After years of planning — and controversy — a new Long Lots Elementary School is rising on Hyde Lane.

The site is the former baseball field, adjacent to the oldest section of the 70-year-old building.

Construction walls hide much of the activity from students, staff and passersby. But the other day, “06880” photographer Brandon Malin flew his drone over the work.

These bird’s-eye photos show how much progress has already been made. And how close it is to the school that will be demolished this summer.

The new Long Lots Elementary School and Stepping Stones Preschool are scheduled to open in January 2028.
