More are needed for the school in Connecticut.
Villa Duchesne and Oak Hill School students like senior Sarah Sutherlin made paper snowflakes for the students of Sandy Hook Elementary. The snowflakes will be mailed to Connecticut to decorate a new elementary school building. The idea was inspired by the fact that “like our children, no two snowflakes are alike. ” The Snowflake Drive is sponsored by the Connecticut Parent Teacher Student Association. If you would like to participate, mail your snowflakes to Connecticut PTSA, 60 Connolly Parkway, Building 12, Suite 103, Hamden, CT 06514, by January 12, 2013.

Except that Head Start doesn't work and everyone, even liberals like Joe Klein, knows it. http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,2081778,00.html Here's the problem with targeting so-called assault weapons - they kill relatively few people.
