Newtown Heads Back to School: Share Your First Day Photos
Sandy Hook and Newtown students headed back to the classrooms on Monday. Share your photos of your student or teacher's first day on Patch.
NEWTOWN, CT — As Newtown students headed back to school today, many parents and caregivers were left at the bus stop with mixed emotions. "How did it go by so fast?" one parent said. "I wish I could freeze time," said another.
Sandy Hook Elementary School welcomed students in the new school on Dickinson Drive. Consiglii & Sons, built the $50 million school which was designed by Svigals + Partners, designed it based upon community input. Julia McFadden was the architect for the project. The previous location was demolished after the 2012 shooting of 26 students and educators. Sandy Hook students have been attending Chalk Hill School in Monroe ever since the tragedy.
