MOORE, Okla. –  More students in the Metro are headed back to class today, including Moore, Okla.

Some students in Moore will start a new school year Tuesday in a brand new school.

A tornado in May 2013 destroyed Plaza Towers Elementary and claimed the lives of seven children.

The new school also has a new playground, which Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant and about 200 volunteers helped build.
