Sandy Hook Teacher Who Saved Students Coming Out With Book

Former Sandy Hook teacher Kaitlin M. Roig-DeBellis is coming out with her book “Choosing Hope: Moving Forward from Life’s Darkest Hours,” which will goes on sale Oct. 6.

She taught at Sandy Hook Elementary School for six years beginning in 2007 and hid her children during the 2012 shooting that left 20 children and six adults dead.

“Life is all about choice,” she told People Magazine. “The choice is each of ours alone to make. That’s really powerful, especially with dealing with the hard stuff.”

She told People she doesn’t consider herself a hero and that she was in charge of her 15 students.

Roig-DeBellis helped found Classes 4 Classes, a non-profit with a mission to teach children the power of kindess and compassion.
