Enlarging The Shiloh Elementry School

The Shiloh Elementary School opened its doors for the first time in modern days, on September 1, 1981. It had three grades, 1, 2, 3. There were eighteen students in total. A few more moved to Shiloh within the first couple of months, expanding the student body by about three more. Then one family left before the year was over, reducing it by two.

It was located in the upper (my) neighborhood that first year and used three small buildings. The following year it moved all the way to the bottom, near Tel Shiloh. The classrooms were various caravans, mobile homes and other prefab structures.

Then a "proper" school building was built in the middle of Shiloh. It has since been expanded a few times. Since my youngest graduated over ten years ago, I've lost track. And now it's being enlarged again.
