FOR BREAKING NEWS VISIT www.couriersun.com DECEMBER 11, 2014 • THE COURIER SUN 11 Opening ceremony held for new school in Ozone Park BY SALVATORE LICATA slicata@queenscourier.com @Sal_Licata1 School is offi cially in session for a lucky group of Ozone Park kids. Queens Explorer’s Elementary School held a ribbon cutting ceremony on Dec. 2 to formally celebrate the opening of the new campus. The school, which is also known as P.S. 316 and located at 90-07 101st Ave., opened up for its fi rst school year in September. “It’s a beautiful building that will inspire our young people to reach their full potential,” said Councilman Eric Ulrich. “This school is a tremendous investment in our community and a wonderful addition to the neighborhood. Clearly, the architects, engineers and contractors really went out of their way to build a school that we can all be proud of.” The school will house pre-kindergarten through fi fth grade. It’s designed to serve up to 450 children. As of now, the school only has prekindergarten and kindergarten classes, but it will continue to grow as those classes move to the next grade. As those children fi nish their year, a new grade will be developed until pre-K through fi fth grade is housed. The new school cost about $38 million and took a little over a year to build. It occupies the plot where the former St. Stanislaus Catholic School was. There is also a new playground that is currently under construction across the street from the school.
