Backstory
I am the director of dining services for the Newtown CT public school system, and Sandy Hook Elementary has one of the cafterias that I manage. This quiet New England town, it's citizens and others that support it in all kinds of capacities are forever changed. This week we are burying our dead,dodging the media circus (although they are strangely missing today)and adding to the countless informal memorials all over town. On the brighter side, the Newtown and Monroe BOEs are feverishly working together to bring a mothballed middle school, located on the border between our two towns,back on line to begin school for the SHE students on January 2, 2013. Classroom and the support rooms such as the cafeteria are being moved from SHE and meticuleously recreated in the classrooms of new school. I am honored to be a part of the process to promote the process of healing in our community. I just wanted to take a minute to let the Six community know that you are represented in some small way in this recovery effort. by TawnyPort in Six-Word Memoirs on Dec 20, 2012 |

Every American died a little that day. We have 26 scars on our hearts and we feel like you are our next door neighbors. Many shared their sadness about your losses with memoirs. I hope that you and your community can start finding ways to soften the sorrow.canadafreeze says,
