Student helps those affected by CT shooting

RUSHVILLE, Ind. (WISH) - A Rush County 4H'er is trying to help those affected by the Sandy Hook tragedy by making paper snowflakes for schools in the area.

She wrote a letter to our partners at the Rushville Republican:

Hello, my name is Madisyn and I am asking for you to help me.

I have relatives in Newtown, CT, in the same school district but not Sandy Hook school.

They are asking for people to help make their new school look like a Winter Wonderland by making cut-out paper snowflakes. I want to send as many as possible.

You can put your name and where you are from on it if you like.

I need to collect them by Jan. 5 to get them mailed, as they want them by Jan. 12.

Please join me and spread the word! Let's send a blizzard of snowflakes!

You can drop them off at the Rush County Extension office, Room 103 at the courthouse in Rushville.

Thanks,

Madisyn
