Kaleva Elementary School

One of the unsettling parts of returning to Kaleva was a general sense of slow, but unrelenting, decline. Yards that were immaculate are grown over, beautiful old homes go uncared for, and much needs to be done. Kaleva Elementary School, built in the 1970s, is no longer used for much of anything. The flagpole is bare, the bench out front is broken, and the sign board says nothing. Simply put, there are no longer enough kids in the overall district to require this building .... so it sits.
