Make a Snowflake for the Children of Sandy Hook

Please help the Cherry Valley PTA support the students of Sandy Hook Elementary by joining National PTA in making snowflakes! The National PTA sent out an email this week offering options for people who want to help support the students returning to Sandy Hook in January. The following is copied from that email:

“When school resumes for Sandy Hook, it will be in a new building. Parent-volunteers are working to ensure that the students are welcomed back by a winter wonderland with the entire school decorated with as many unique snowflakes as possible. We encourage senders to be as creative as possible, remembering that no two snowflakes are alike. Please make and send snowflakes by January 12, 2013 to the Connecticut PTSA.”

This would be a very meaningful project to work on as a family over the winter break. There will be a drop box in the Cherry Valley front office on January 7th. Please bring in your snowflakes that day and the PTA will mail them, or you can mail them directly to:

Connecticut PTSA
60 Connolly Parkway
Building 12, Suite 103
Hamden, CT 06514

This is also the correct address to send monetary donations. Connecticut PTSA is accepting monetary donations to the “Sandy Hook Fund” to provide ongoing support to the community. To contact Sandy Hook PTA, please email sandyhook@ctpta.org.

In addition to the excellent resources sent out by Riverview School District last week, National PTA has information on how to talk to your children about school violence. http://pta.org/schoolviolence
