It's Chalk the Walks Wednesday!
Today's Suggested Activity
Share uplifting messages through sidewalk Chalk

Grab a piece of sidewalk chalk (or ask a neighbor for a piece) and start spreading a little joy in your neighborhood or around town! We can't wait to see the inspiring, uplifting, and positive messages and drawings being shared!

If you don't have chalk to participate or just need a little emotional boost today, get outside and go for a walk to let others lift you up with their chalk messages and creations!

Thank you to the Westborough Women's Club, the Westborough Historical Society, and a very kind group of high school students and alumni for helping us to "chalk the walks" all over town today!

NOTE: Westborough Public Library Kids' Department will have chalk available outside - chalk their walks or take some with you for chalking somewhere else.
