My desk at the office, filled with snowflakes!

Yesterday marked the return to school for the Sandy Hook Elementary students. Housed in a new facility in the town of Monroe, Connecticut, the new building represents a fresh start for the children who survived the violent attack last month.

The local PTA planned to decorate the building with handmade paper snowflakes to welcome the children to their new environment.

We put out the word, and people responded. Officials stated that they had received an overwhelming amount of snowflakes from all over the world. Enough they said, to blanket the entire town of Newtown. There was love and support in each one.

Thanks to all who participated in making the day just a little bit brighter for these kids.
