As I drove by the elementary school that is around the corner from my house this morning, I thought of the teachers who must try to help their kids regain a sense of security even as they are struggling with the same. My heart particularly aches for my daughter, a first grade teacher in a nearby suburb.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is a teacher too - she and her students are on my mind....
ReplyDeleteIf anyone would like to cross stitch a block to honor one or more of the victims from Newtown, there is a group on Facebook called Xstitch for those impacted by the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. I'm sure they could use as many stitchers as possible for this endeavor, whether you can stitch one square or more. Details on the size and color fabric and sign ups for each individual child and school employee's quilt can be found at the Facebook group. Thanks to anyone who can help out. The link to the Facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/groups/310784595692711/
ReplyDeleteHello, I live in Canada and when I heard what happened at that school, my heart broke for all those babies who died. And sorrow for the teacher who lost their lives too. All my prayers are with the people of Newton who have to pick up the pieces of their lives and go on without the sweet babies they lost. God Bless All of You. Lynda
