Anti-Semitic graffiti was found scrawled on the outside of a Staten Island School yesterday, police said. Early yesterday morning, the principal of PS 39, Francis J. Murphy Jr., called police when she saw the messages on the outside of the school at 71 Sand Lane and on the handball court, officials said. Police arrived at the school at 8:30 a.m. Some of the graffiti was difficult to decipher, but the police were able to identify Swastikas and expletives toward Arabs and Jews. PS 39 enrolls 465 children in grades pre-kindergarten through fifth, according to the Department of Education Web site.
