URBANA, Ill. (WCIA) — With schools closed and more businesses having employees work from home, some people may feel stuck in their houses. In response, local groups want kids and parents to brighten the streets.

Friday was the first ‘Chalk Your Walk’ in Champaign County.

“I think it’s a way to connect to our community, to communicate with each other that we’re still here. We’re still in this together,” says parent and participant Kelsey Langley.
