Sandy Hook_White RoseAll of us at the Character Education Partnership were stunned and saddened when hearing of the senseless and tragic killing of innocent children and teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary School. We can only imagine what the Sandy Hook family, as well as everyone in the broader Newtown community, are going through at this incredibly difficult time. Our hearts and prayers go out to all of them.
