Sandy Hook School to Be "Topped Off" on Tuesday

This day marks another milestone in the construction of the new school.

Construction workers will sign the final steel beam and put it into place.

Construction started in March on the new 87,000-square-foot school and it is expected to open at the beginning of the 2016-17 school year.
