Meeting to Create Snowflakes for Sandy Hook School Cancelled

The meeting was scheduled for Wednesday.

The McMurray PTA is cancelling the after school meeting that was slated Wednesday to create snowflakes for Sandy Hook Elementary.

School officials said the Sandy Hook Elementary School has been overwhelmed with the response from schools across the country and they have posted the following information on its website:

Thank you to everyone who has donated snowflakes on behalf of the children of Sandy Hook Elementary School and the community of Newtown. We know that each snowflake represents the emotional outreach of the person making it. We have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of generosity from around not just the country but the world.

At this time, we have enough beautiful snowflakes to blanket the community of Newtown. Therefore, with regret we must close the snowflake project to further donations.

Please take this idea and your snowflakes and create a winter wonderland of your own in your community as a show of solidarity for our Newtown families.

Please share your winter wonderlands with us. We would love to share your pictures with the families of Sandy Hook and all the other participating communities.
