Current and former students, teachers, administrators and other community members gathered Friday evening to bid farewell to 60 years of learning at Eastern Elementary School as Traverse City Area Public Schools officials prepare to break ground on a new, $14.2 million facility. Students will temporarily transition to the former International School at Bertha Vos following spring break. A timeline for the rebuild calls for construction to begin by July and conclude in August 2018.
