  • 2013 Connecticut State Register and Manual Dedication
    A Tragedy Like No Other Friday December 14th will never be the same. For on that day in 2012 —in just a matter of minutes— the worst nightmare of every parent in the world was realized at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown. The magic of the holiday season and the joys of school celebrations on an otherwise quiet yet busy morning were shattered in a hail of bullets. As students and teachers ran for cover into classrooms and closets, 26 innocent souls were methodically gunned down. Their killing had no purpose; but their lives, tragically ending before their time, fill our hearts with meaning. Yet, though it might not be any comfort to us and the families of the victims, we are forced to admit that we may never know why the deranged individual responsible for the massacre pulled the trigger so many times with seeming disregard and contempt for human life. In every town, city, state and country we send our children off to school in the morning into the care of compassionate adults who help them grow and learn, nurture the students yet demand their best, and help their young minds develop; never thinking that this is the last we would ever see them alive. The heart knows no pain greater than the mother or father who must bury their own child. It is a loss that—as a parent—you may learn to live with, but you never truly get over. And we are also renewed with a deep appreciation for the adults—mostly women at the elementary school setting—who dedicate years of their lives to educate these innnocent, brave and beautiful children; teaching them not only how to read, write, add and subtract but how to love and respect each other, their parents, their siblings, and how to live in a community.
