gock's frocks.....individually inspired design

Many of you may not be aware that I have gone back to teaching full time. Thus the intermittent posts here on my blog and few new additions on etsy.

 The events last week in Newtown, CT impacted me both as a mother and an educator. When I saw a posting on Facebook I knew I wanted to do this both with my kids at home as well as my students at school.

  A building has been designated to house the students from Sandy Hook Elementary School. They are in the process of transporting desks, chairs, supplies and so forth to this location. "The Snowflake Project" is a project for the Sandy Hook students who will return to school after the holidays. The idea is that students, friends and families create and decorate a snowflake. Members of the school will hang them in the hallways of the stark, new building where the Sandy Hook students will be returning. PLEASE NO WORDS! They just want a cheerful, happy, sparkly environment for the students entering the new building. Please pass on to anyone you think may want to participate. When you send your snowflakes, please include a note to tell where they are from (your school, class, town, etc) to display along with your snowflakes. You can send directly to the address below, and they will be given to the PTA. The Snowflake Project c/o Bonny Marsicano 22 Pine Tree Hill Road Newtown, CT 06470 Before mailing your snowflake, please take a moment to send a prayer, wish or happy thought to the children who will receive your snowflake.
