P.S. 70, Kenneth Appell’s Elementary School in Astoria, Queens

.

Pictured in December 2008 -- largely unchanged from when five-year-old Ken entered kindergarten in 1928 and then attended through eighth grade – New York Public School 70 is located at 30-45 42nd Street in Astoria and is named after a New York police lieutenant, Joe Petrosino (1860-1909), famed for his fight against organized crime. Today P.S. 70 serves just over 1,000 students pre-K-5.
