We sent our 1,000+ snowflakes to Sandy Hook earlier today, and made a small contribution to support Newtown Teachers.
To all the children and families of Sandy Hook Elementary School (Newtown, Connecticut), you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Snowflake for Sandy Hook in Sammamish
More than 125 people came to the Snowflake for Sandy Hook event, and they made more than 1,000 snowflakes.
Santa also came and surprised all of the kids (and the adults, too).
It was a wonderful gathering of caring people in our community of Sammamish (home of Kids Without Borders).
Incidentally, our city Sammamish was recently named by Forbes as America's # 1 Friendliest Town.
Upcoming event honoring Sandy Hook
Please join other families in our community on Friday December 21, 2012 for a Snowflake making party!
We've all wondered how we can help in the wake of last week's tragic events in CT. Let's help the students of Sandy Hook have a winter wonderland at their new school! The Sandy Hook PTSA wants to decorate their new school with as many snowflakes as possible when classes resume in January. They are moving to an empty school in a neighboring town.
Bring some white paper, scissors and your imagination. We will make sure the snowflakes get to CT.
Kids Without Borders - a local, all volunteer non-profit, will be there with additional supplies and also be collecting donations for the “Connecticut PTSA Sandy Hook Fund”.
The message for this event is positive - I know many small kids are innocently unaware of the tragedy. This is going to be a fun "Snowflake Making Party" to help decorate a school on the other side of the Country to help make kids happy.
Let's get creative!! No two snowflakes are alike...and that is a beautiful thing. Yes this is short notice but we hope to see as many people there as possible!

Welcome Home, Mike and Alex Shimizu, Kids Without Borders donors/supporters/volunteers.
