LEE COUNTY, AL (WTVM) -
The tragedy in Newtown,
Connecticut has definitely made an impression on kids in east Alabama.
Students from the Lee
County school district, from more than a thousand miles away, have decided to
help make a difference.
"We've have had a
number of students that have made cards and written letters. We've had parents
come in, community volunteers, offer supplies and postage. We've had memorial
type ribbons that certain schools are wearing in remembrance of the
students."
Teachers in Lee County are also incorporating the events at Sandy
Hook Elementary into their lesson plans, trying to make it a learning
experience and making it easier to cope with these tragic and scary issues.
Lee County students aren't
the only one's getting involved; local businesses are as well.
Magnolia Storage and Flea
Market in Opelika also decided to help honor the victims of the tragedy in Newtown.
Business owner Billy Allen
along with Andrew Garcia decided to donate 26 crosses to Beauregard Elementary
School in Opelika.
The crosses were
constructed locally and put in front of the elementary school Wednesday.
