All Newtown community members are welcome to tour the new Sandy Hook School on Friday, July 29, between the hours of 5 and 8 p.m.
“We are very grateful to the taxpayers of Connecticut for giving our town the funding to build this school,” First Selectman Llodra said in a press release.
“Our goal was to create a place of community and learning, a place that would honor those we lost and allow those who were left behind the chance to move forward. I hope everyone who comes to see this new building takes away from it these ideals," she added.
Dr. Erardi states that “Sandy Hook will have a quiet, respectful, and appropriate opening as teachers and students return to the new school year. The transition to the new school needs to be as seamless as possible for the children. That is why we are setting up this day; and therefore, asking everyone to give us the space we need to allow high quality teaching and learning when we return for our first day of school.”
