Through the MassDOT Shared Streets and Spaces grant program, the Town of Merrimac worked with Neighborways to install an asphalt mural at Sweetsir Elementary School.

Sweetsir School Staff and kids alike love how the mural brightens the school, draws attention to the playground near the street, and inspires learning and fun.
