Sandy Hook Students Return To School

Sandy Hook Students Return To School

Posted: Updated:
MONROE, Conn. -

Students and teachers from Sandy Hook Elementary return to class Thursday for the first time since last month's shooting rampage that left 26 people dead.

They will finish out the school year in what had been a vacant middle school.

Furniture, desks and other school supplies were all moved into the new school.

The school has been re-named Sandy Hook, and school officials say their goal is to ease the students back into their classroom routines.

At the nearby firehouse, where so many parents found out their child had died, 26 bronze stars now line the roof in memory of the victims.

Fox News reporter Robert Moses joined "Good Day" live Thursday morning from Monroe, Conn., with more details on how that community is welcoming the returning students.

    Thursday weather looks damp and stormy.  It will be mild and muggy to start with spotty showers early followed by afternoon and evening storms.  Highs in the upper 70s with winds out of the SW 5-10 mph. Some of the storms will produce locally heavy rain and gusty winds.

    This system is from the same cold front that caused the midwest tornadoes. It will also usher in cooler air for the holiday weekend.
