Tomorrow's the day!


Tomorrow is the day! On Monday the Sandy Hook Advisory Commission will release their recommendations for school safety. These recommendations will be sent to Gov. Malloy of Connecticut. This commission was put together to prevent another shooting from happening and to create a better protocol for school safety.

Team 26 on a mission


This video showcases Team 26! This team of bicyclists rode from Newtown, CT to Washington D.C. This team of people are heading to Washington D.C to protest for stricter gun control laws. This is an inspirational group of people, inspiring people to take a stand on gun control.

One step at a time



This is a new bill that was just passed a week ago! This bill helps first responders and anyone affected by the SHS tragedy to take time off from work in order to deal with what happen, being fully compensated. This bill is superb and helps everyone in need! 

G.I. Teacher?


This link is very interesting! Many people are suggesting giving teachers armed weapons for protection in case of an emergency. This article provides a counterargument to this idea, believing this isn’t the answer. Will schools be safer with armed teachers or is this initiative leading us one step closer to another disaster?
