In the wake of the elementary school killings in Newtown, Conn., last Friday, people in towns nationwide are asking themselves what safety measures their own schools might have. Even while the situation in Newtown was unfolding, word reached other schools across the country, including Hildreth Elementary School in Harvard.
The principals of Hildreth Elementary School and the Bromfield School released statements this weekend to the school communities in response to the school shootings in Connecticut on Friday.
A group of Harvard residents have planned to hold a candlelight vigil in honor of and in support of the Sandy Hook, Conn., community. The vigil will take place at the town common at 4:30 to 5 p.m. this evening, Sunday, Dec. 16.
