Q&A: Signs of Love and Gratitude Greet New Canaan Teachers Monday
|
Teachers headed back to work Monday at public and private schools in New Canaan, including preschools, were greeted by lawn signs from the community expressing love and gratitude. Nearly 150 locals donated toward the project, conceived by a handful of residents in just over one week, with friends and family members helping place the signs in sub-freezing temperatures (the signs them sleds were made very quickly by Stamford’s Alpha Graphics). We connected with the New Canaan resident who helped spearhead the effort, Sara Bakker, for a Q&A. Here’s our exchange. New Canaanite: How did this project get started?
Sara Bakker: I heard an interview with Michael J. Fox a couple of months ago.
