So: a small but great project. the Connecticut state PTA organization is organizing a 'winter wonderland' for students at Sandy Hook Elementary School, and have asked for donations of homemade paper snowflakes. Raising the Village is partnering with Bija Kids (900 Fulton Street between Washington and Waverly) to host a snowflake making party! The event will be on Saturday, December 29th from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. We'll supply origami paper and scissors (although feel free to bring some of your own) and some festive snacks.
While we will all be making snowflakes for the Sandy Hook students, we will not be discussing what took place there in any detail at the event. We will say simply that some kids in their school died and they are all very sad so we are making the snowflakes to cheer them up and to show them that other kids around the country are wishing the well. Because families have made different choices about whether to tell their kids about the event and how to do so, we ask that you keep discussion about it at a minimum on Saturday. If you have any concerns about this part of it but want to come, let me know.
Please sent me an email if you are planning on coming it will help with the planning. Suggested age is 5+.
