Nearly 100 volunteers, some from as far away as Greenwich and Glastonbury, converged on Treadwell Park December 22 to plant thousands of crocus, daffodil, and flowering onion bulbs along the hillside opposite the parking area, which will bloom annually in memory of those lost during the December 14 Sandy Hook School shooting. Among the volunteers were Leslie Freyberg of Redding, pictured covering a row of bulbs, and Newtowner Alison Bardolato, who shuttled bags of bulbs to the planting crew she was assisting.

![Middle Gate student Jennah Guarna created a special poster to hang on her front door on December 15. With help from some friends (“They helped me with a lot of the stickers,” the 7-year-old said), Jenna put the words “We Pray For Sandy Hook” on a piece of white poster board using red letter stickers, and then filled the remaining space with hearts, flowers, smiley faces, flowers, and countless animals. “I made it because some of the kids, they were all nice. One of my friends had two friends on the swim team who passed away [on December 14]. I thought I would make a poster to cheer her up,” said Jennah. “When she saw this after I finished it, she had a big smile. I want everyone to smile. I want Newtown to smile again.” Her sign, said mom Joanna, has been hung on the front door of their home. Jennah is shown with Brownie, far left, and Spirit, two horses she picked from the donations of stuffed animals that have been delivered to The Bee to share.
