My heart breaks for all the children, teachers and families that have been affected by the horrific event that occurred on Friday. This tragedy has affected me more than any other shooting. I found myself crying as I watched the news reports this weekend. While I don't have a child of my own...I do teach a classroom full of 8 and 9 year olds. Yes, some of them are frustrating at times, but I would never want anything to happen to any of them. They are so young and still have full lives ahead of them. It makes me want to teach with my classroom door locked, but I don't want to live in fear either.
I pray for the victims, their families, and the Sandy Hook community. I pray that the teachers find the strength to continue their school year leading their students to success. I pray that the students who survived can return to a normal childhood in the coming weeks and months.
