The SolBe community is joining together to show our gratitude for all essential workers by participating in the #ChalkChallege Movement. A Word from the Creators: Why The #ChalkChallenge? “The #chalkchallenge will not only ignite the practice of showing gratitude to the many selfless workers, but also help promote creative expression for all ages, inspire solidarity safely from home, and bring joy to all of us who need compassion and love during this unprecedented time. From the delivery drivers to the garbage clean-up crews, there are countless individuals who are working tirelessly to maintain vital services and we’re here to say thank you. How do I spread the word? Take a picture of your masterpiece, add our #chalkchallenge hashtag, and post it on your social media! Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, all platforms are welcome! If social media isn’t your thing, no problem. Share our mission with your network and friends. If you are connected to educators, public figures, performers, artists, movers, and shakers in your community, send this one-pager to those who might also be inspired to join us. This is all about connecting with each other, sharing our gratitude, and celebrating all the diverse and wonderful ways we can say thank you.” With love and gratitude,Ginna & Julia@TheChalkChallenge Project of the Day: #ChalkChallenge with our Kiddos Materials Chalk Don’t have any?
