How to Help Sandy Hook
 UPDATED 3/9/13In the wake of such a tragedy, the overwhelming support of people around the world can descend on a small town in a whirlwind. The generosity and kindness can be, at times, overwhelming. At Really Good Stuff, we have personally reached out to the Newtown Board of Education to see how we can best help them with the new school. We’re just waiting to hear back, but are eager to help our community.
UPDATE 12/19/12: Monroe teachers who are helping to set up the classrooms at Chalk Hill for the teachers and students of Sandy Hook have reached out to Really Good Stuff and will be picking up materials and supplies.

The Sandy Hook tragedy has a special relevance to us, as Newtown is a neighboring community. In recognition of the hundreds of suggestions, questions and tributes we’ve received from our friends and customers, we have been distributing an awareness bracelet that remembers the teachers, students and staff of Sandy Hook Elementary School. We haven’t wanted to say much about this, but we did want to reach out to our customers in some way, because they’ve reached out to us and shared how profoundly this tragedy has affected them, a feeling we certainly share.
