This was posted locally, but it is beginning to be spread nationally. Maybe some of you would like to participate. Chalk Hill is the name of the school which is being fixed up for the Sandy Hook students when they eventually go back to school. The PTO is trying to make it festive for them.

"This was a post from the President of Fawn Hollow School PTO.....please read and spread the word":

"We have reached out to our PTA counterparts in Newtown to offer whatever help we can give. They have asked us to spread the word about a snowflake drive they are having through the CT PTSA. The snowflakes eventually will be used to decorate Chalk Hill. While we work on coordinating a collection effort for Fawn Hollow, we wanted to share the information on their behalf if anyone would like to pass it along to out of town friends. The information they have sent us is below. Thank you for all the amazing offers to help our Newtown neighbors and friends!"

Send snowflakes to Sandy Hook

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.

The Connecticut Parent-Teacher Association encourages students to be as creative as possible, remembering that no two snowflakes are alike. Please make and send snowflakes by Jan. 12, 2013 to the Connecticut PTSA, 60 Connolly Parkway
Building 12, Suite 103; Hamden, CT 06514.

Here are some tips from Martha Stewart on how to make paper snowflakes.

The Connecticut PTSA is also collecting monetary donations for the “Sandy Hook Fund” to provide ongoing support to the community. Please send checks to the Connecticut PTSA address listed above.

The PTSA also encourages group fundraising projects, like walk-a-thons, spirits days, pajama days, etc., which may be scheduled at your convenience. Student-run coin drive donations should be submitted by Feb. 14. If your school decides to do a group fundraising project for Sandy Hook, please let us know.

The Newtown community has requested only monetary donations at this time. For service or product donation inquiries, contact newtownboe@gmail.com. To contact Sandy Hook PTA, email sandyhook@ctpta.org.

Send all snowflakes and donations to:
Connecticut PTSA
60 Connolly Parkway
Building 12, Suite 103
Hamden, CT 06514

I'm so not creative. I did find a pewter snowflake ornament in stuff I inherited from Mom but I'm thinking that's not quite what they're looking for.
