NEWTOWN, Conn. -- Parents of Sandy Hook Elementary School students want to create a winter wonderland for their children after last Friday's tragedy in Newtown. You can help.

With their old school still designated as a crime scene, the children will resume classes at Chalk Hill, a former middle school in the neighboring town of Monroe, Connecticut.

To welcome the kids there, Newtown parents and leaders want to decorate the school with handmade snowflakes. The Connecticut PTSA is collecting the snowflakes on behalf of Sandy Hook.
