From The Philadelphia Inquirer: A new $30.3 million Willard Elementary School has opened in Philadelphia. It has a gymnasium., an instructional music room, an auditorium,. a science lab, classrooms with electronic whiteboards, and an inviting cafeteria with soaring, clerestory windows. It had taken more than a decade to replace the outmoded and crowded 1907 Willard School, where children had to eat lunch at their desks and were tutored in hallways.
