Fairfield students gathered Monday to decorate the sidewalks at McKinley Elementary School with messages of unity. (John Whaley)
FAIRFIELD, CT Less than a week after McKinley Elementary students encountered vandalism outside their school, they received a much different surprise messages of kindness and unity, artistically rendered along the school sidewalks.
Students discovered Tuesday on the school s front walkway chalk drawings of hearts, rainbows and flowers, and words encouraging them to be a light in the darkness and reminding them there is unity in our diversity.
The happy surprise was the result of a collaboration between several Fairfield high school and middle school groups. The organizations came together after graffiti that said United States of China and Biden For Socialism was reported to police Jan. 13 on sidewalks near the school and a snow mound in the parking lot.
