NEW BRUNSWICK – Groundbreaking is scheduled next week for the state-of-the-art elementary school to be constructed on Jersey Avenue.
The new three-story, 127,400-square-foot school at 50 Jersey Ave. will house students in grades K-8. The groundbreaking is scheduled for 11 a.m. Wednesday.
The new school will replace Lincoln Annex School, the former St. Peter s High School and Elementary School, which is being demolished for construction of the state s first free-standing cancer hospital.
The demolition should be completed in about a week, said Christopher Paladino, president of New Brunswick Development Corporation or DEVCO, the nonprofit redeveloper for the projects. It will take us another several weeks to get all the debris sorted and off the site, he said. Our plan is to start doing excavation at the site on June 6.

Three community leaders declared their candidacy for the New Brunswick School Board, challenging the political establishment and promising to put the students of the city first.
After more than 30 years as a bilingual kindergarten teacher, Linda “Lindy” Stork is ready to put her extensive knowledge and experience with community care and education into serving the students of her city as a Board of Education member.
“Being a teacher in New Brunswick and seeing my own kids go through our public school system, I got to understand just how much we needed someone looking out for our student’s best interests on the Board of Ed,” said Stork. “I’ve been advocating for New Brunswick students for years and I am willing and ready to fight for them, every step of the way.”
