On behalf of Sandy Hook Organization for Prosperity (SHOP), I would like to extend a personal invitation to Celebrate the Season together in Sandy Hook. It is that special time of year when we surround ourselves with family and friends and create cherished memories to last a lifetime.

Adopt a lamppost!

We are hoping to decorate our village, together. Join us at 10 am sharp on Sunday, November 26, in the center of Sandy Hook Village to decorate your lamppost. It is a fun activity for a group of friends, a family, business, or community organization to participate in. Adoption fees come with roping, a bow, lights, and a customizable gift tag to display. To adopt a lamppost, visit our website at

Introducing the Inaugural Sandy Hook Ornament - Start a new family tradition and become a collector, beginning with our inaugural piece. These beautiful pewter ornaments are available to purchase on our website, at our SHOP headquarters at 107 Church Hill Road, at the tree lighting, and at the Sandy Hook Volunteer Fire & Rescue Christmas Tree Sale. There are limited quantities and they are selling quickly.

Please join us as we kick off the season with our annual tree lighting ceremony on Saturday, December 2. The festivities begin at 4 pm and include a visit from Santa Claus at 5 pm (don't forget your nonperishable food item for FAITH Food Pantry), karaoke (courtesy of Graceful Planet), a live Nativity at Faith at Newtown, caroling with the Middle School Chorus, and of course the tree lighting at 6 pm. Many of our merchants and restaurants will have holiday specials you won't want to miss, as well.

With all my best wishes to Celebrate the Season in Sandy Hook!

Go Out And Vote April 23

Supporting Our Kids By Supporting Our Schools

Vote Yes On April 23

All I Ask Is That You Think About It

Let Your Voice Be Heard By Voting No, ‘Too High’

Budget should be cut by 20%, spending $2.65 million dollars per every week forever is absolutely unsustainable ! Do everything possible to Vote No on another nonsensical attempt to increase the cost of living ! Taxpayers are honestly just renting their houses from the town, it costs me $40 every night to sleep in my own bed ! Soon it will be cheaper living in a hotel than owning a property in Newtown !

Finance Board Moves $1 Million From Education Budget

I went and complaint to Rosenthall's father that the budget was too high at $80M several years ago, now we are at almost $140M . $2.65 million per week that is ! Fairfield hills should have long been developed by investors money and bring revenue to the town. WE ARE DRIVING OURSELVES OUT OF NEWTOWN by doing this and constantly raising the cost of living. It makes zero sense, any extra budget money gets burned on stupid stuff just so they can ask for more next year. Put an END TO THIS STUPIDITY and CUT THE BUDGET 20%. Everyone will be just fine ! Kids won't get any smarter anyway. That's an honest reality !

Why You Should Not Vote For The BOE Budget

Any common sensical person can do this job at under 100k salary. Way overhyped and overpaid at over $200k annual salary. We as voters have to put an end to this. Not to mention an assistant comes along with this job paid at 190k! What is wrong with you voters?

Melillo Announces Departure To Darien

Honestly, I don't know why anyone would ever vote to increase their taxes and give their money away.

Difficult To Vote For BOE Budget Without Specifics

The entire budget needs to be cut not raised. The proposed budget now would sit that we spend $2.65 million dollars every week. For population of less than 30k people it is absolutely absurd ! You cannot keep driving older folks out of town just to create a revolving door of parents who come here, educate their kids and run away ! There is no need to be paying 190K annual salary to an ASSISTANT to superintendent, not in the best interest of tax payers ! The voting turnout at 9% is ridiculous ! Lobby lawmakers to change the voting by mail, so everyone gets a ballot in the mail and at least 51% of residents vote to approve, otherwise the budget should not be approved if you don't have the majority ! Most folks don't even know when the vote is ! They have taxes bundled with mortgage and don't even know ! We are raising cost of living for everyone and it is absolutely not necessary.
