UB students and Bridgeport firefighters build playground to honor Sandy Hook School victims, December 6 to December 11

Students from the University of Bridgeport will team up with Bridgeport firefighters Local 834 to build a playground in memory of student Josephine Grace Gay, who was killed last year at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT.

The playground is part of the Where Angels Play initiative; volunteers from Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York coastline communities are building 26 playgrounds named after victims of the school tragedy on December 14, 2012.

The playground will be opened at a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 4 p.m. Wednesday, December 11.

UU's outsourcing arm, Vertex, which handles payrolls and call centres, is being fattened for a £600m to £700m partial flotation in three to five years. It aims to double sales to £400m by then.
