Silence for Sandy Hook Elementary
This is Farley's mom...
She (Farley) is dictating this post to me via cell phone because of her hand surgery this morning.
What a tragedy...
All teachers around the world are saddened by today's events.
Our hearts are heavy and broken for all of those affected.
I feel helpless...
As a teacher blogger,
I feel that all of us should unite.
Please join me in a day of silence for teacher bloggers on
Sunday, December 16, 2012,
by only posting the picture below on your blog
and titling your post as "Silence for Sandy Hook Elementary" .
Let's show our fellow teachers and the families at Sandy Hook Elementary
our love and support from across the nation and the world during this most difficult time.
"Do your little bit of good where you are;
it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world."
- Desmond Tutu
