    Elementary school yearbook honors Sandy Hook victims

    Monroe — A special page in an elementary school yearbook is dedicated to the 26 students and staff killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Connecticut.

    The Hartford Courant reports the first-graders who survived the attack are finishing elementary school Monday, ending the students' three years in a Monroe school that served as Sandy Hook Elementary School since the shooting.

    The Newtown school system doesn't hold elementary school graduations so the yearbook is the only chance to recognize the 20 first-graders and six teachers and administrators who were fatally shot in December 2012 by Adam Lanza.

    The yearbook features the colors of the school and a page with photos of most of the 26 victims.

    The new Sandy Hook school is expected to open in Newtown in September.
