New Sandy Hook school opens after Newtown attack

NEWTOWN, Connecticut (Reuters) - Classes resumed on Thursday for the more than 400 surviving students of Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, 20 days after a massacre at the school that killed 20 first graders and six adults last month, plunging a rural New England town and the nation into grief.

Across Newtown's sprawling Sandy Hook neighbourhood, home to the school where the December 14 attack took place, children ranging from kindergartners to fourth graders boarded buses for the seven-mile journey to their new school.
