Safe and Sound Schools

Safe and Sound Schools: A Sandy Hook Initiative is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing parents and school communities the tools and resources necessary to ensure school safety. On Dec. 14, 2012, a tragic act of violence took the lives of 20 children and six adult staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Two of the children belonged to Michele Gay and Alissa Parker. In honor of their daughters, Josephine and Emilie, Gay and Parker founded Safe and Sound Schools to advocate for better school security and safety. Their mission is to advocate for improved school security and safety in order to protect children and teachers.
