Newtown Documentary Airs On PBS April 3
News Week

On April 3, 2017, the documentary of Newtown airs public on PBS. The documentary that has been in the making for three years will air on PBS at 9 p.m. ET/PT, 8 p.m. CT/MT

Although April 3rd will be the first time I personally will be seeing the documentary, I highly advise others to watch it.

In a post by Sandy Hook Promise:

"The filmmakers behind Newtown use unique access and never-before-heard testimonies to tell a story of the aftermath of the deadliest mass shooting of school children in American history on December 14, 2012. Newtown documents a traumatized community fractured by grief and driven toward a sense of purpose."

With being a Sandy Hook resident a part of the town of Newtown, Connecticut, I have witnessed first-hand the 'beauty that comes from ashes' and what it means to be a part of a loving and close-knit community. And most of all... LOVE WINS.

I am eager to see the film and how it has traced the events of what happened on December 14th of 2012 in my hometown of Sandy Hook. I find it very important for others to learn about the tragedy as well as how critical it is to remain together in our communities. I also find it imperative to understand how precious life is and the importance of loving one another.

Please, if any of you have availability during this time on April 3, to please consider watching the Newtown documentary, as it is something in life very dear to my heart and the hearts of many.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
