Spaeth, a seventh-grader at Central Middle School, and Hryckwian, a seventh-grader at Western Middle School, saw the address of Sandy Hook Elementary School on the Internet and were inspired to write letters of support to the students, teachers and staff there.
The more the two discussed the idea, the more they realized they didn’t have to be the only ones to write to the school. So just three days after the Newtown tragedy, more than 20 girls from three Greenwich middle schools went to Molly’s house to write those letters of support.
“We said, ‘Wait, we could have more people and that would mean more letters,’” Spaeth said. “And the more people, the more they know that everyone cares about them.”
Spaeth said she hopes even more people will take up the cause to write letters of support to Newtown.
“Anyone who wants to write a letter, go ahead and I’ll even mail it for them,” Spaeth said. “It makes me feel good to know that people really care. Then they’ll know that everyone really wants to help them.”
