Obama attended a multi-faith vigil at the school on Sunday night and Steve George, a teacher and football coach; and Robert Pattison, a teacher, had left him a message.

“Dear President Obama, The Newtown community is so thankful that  you are coming to help us heal. In times of adversity it is reassuring to know that we have a strong leader to help us recover.”

And the president responded.

“You’re in our thoughts and prayers,” the president wrote in response.
