With asbestos removal complete, demolition of Rehoboth Elementary’s big building is underway.
The school’s footprint will soon house basketball and pickle ball courts and amenities such as a pavilion, benches and outdoor classroom seating. An archway with the school’s original name and 1939 cornerstone will oversee a sidewalk, made with the sand-colored bricks of the old school, that leads to Turtle Bridge.
The little Rehoboth Elementary was demolished in August, just before the opening of the new school.
