when the school was expanded again while I was in 6th grade.
Large playground to run and hide and play dodge ball (LOL). We lived three blocks away.
The school was two blocks from Massapequa Lake. The school was located in an older development that failed in the market crash of '29-same as Biltmore Shores. The area also had post war homes in between.
