Project Eagle
For those of you who would like to do more to honor the memory of our students and staff, Sandy Hook is encouraging schools to consider adopting Sandy Hook Elementary School's Project Eagle community service effort and adapting it locally. Project Eagle is a group that was formed in 2011 under the direction of Principal Dawn Hochsprung with the goal of finding ways for elementary school students to engage in service efforts that help those in need, especially children. Together, this group of students and parents has embraced initiatives including a book drive to replenish classroom shelves, the creation of original works of art for the children's wing of a local hospital, Earth Day recycling drives, a Lego collection for a family counseling center, a concert for residents of a senior center, holiday gifts for a local women's shelter, and a pajama drive for victims of Hurricane Sandy. You can read more about Project Eagle on the Sandy Hook Elementary School web site.
For questions please email us at sandyhookpta@gmail.com or call CT PTSA at 203-281-6617.
The Newtown community has requested only monetary donations at this time.
To donate goods and services please call 855-364-6600 or email assistnewtown@gmail.com. A staff of volunteers will organize and catalog offers of help.
