A little off topic for the blog as it doesn’t have to do with Wallingford Schools but we should never forget…
STRATFORD — The mayor of Stratford is proposing to name a school in town for a teacher who was killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Mayor John Harkins says the bravery shown by Victoria Soto in protecting her children should never be forgotten.
The 27-year-old Soto was a Stratford resident who was killed during the Dec. 14 massacre in Newtown as she tried to shield her students from the gunman. The shooter killed 20 children and six women at the school before committing suicide.
Harkins proposed Monday to give Soto’s name to a new school planned for the site of the Honeyspot Elementary School. Construction is set to begin this summer.
The name must be approved by the town council, which is expected to take up the matter on Jan. 14.
