Kudos to the Concord mystery person (a teen) in the South End who wrote inspiring messages in chalk on the sidewalks going toward Conant and Rundlett on the first day of school! All of the kids, anxious about the start of the new school year, were calmed and distracted by this very thoughtful and creative act. As a mother of an upper elementary student, thank you, thank you, thank you. Things like this make Concord a wonderful place to raise a family. My hat is off to you!
