SAVE Promise Club

Tree made from hand prints, Sandy Hook Promise

The School District of Lee County is proud to partner with the Sandy Hook Promise to help prevent senseless acts of violence from occurring in our communities and schools. Sandy Hook Promise is a national nonprofit organization founded and led by several family members whose loved ones were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14, 2012. Based in Newtown, Connecticut, their intent is to honor all victims of gun violence by turning their tragedy into a moment of transformation. By empowering youth to “know the signs” and uniting all people who value the protection of children, we can take meaningful actions in schools, homes, and communities to prevent gun violence and stop the tragic loss of life.
