Biography of Sandy Hook Victims

On the quiet morning of December 14, 2012, the peaceful halls of Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, welcomed children excited for the holidays. In moments of confusion, twenty bright first-graders and six devoted educators who shielded them passed into gentle rest. Their laughter, artwork, and small acts of kindness live on in the hearts of families and a nation forever touched. The Sandy Hook Promise organization, founded by loved ones, works tirelessly to protect children through awareness and prevention. Memorial fountains and playgrounds bloom with color in their honor, while 26 stars shine in Newtown’s sky each December. Their memory continues to inspire safer schools and deeper compassion for every child’s tomorrow.
