SANDY HOOK STUDENTS RETURN TO CLASS
Sandy Hook Elementary students return to class for the first time since the December 14 shooting, which left 20 students and 6 teachers dead.
The students will travel to Chalk Hill Middle School in the nearby town of Monroe, Connecticut.
Newtown Public Schools Superintendent Janet Robinson said that part of the building had been transformed to resemble an elementary school. Even the school's pet turtle was relocated, Robinson said. Security measures have also been increased, with a new system incorporating more cameras and locks, according to Jim Agostine, superintendent of Monroe Public Schools.
