The group, along with Mayor Harry Rilling and Norwalk Public Schools Superintendent Manuel J. Rivera, will be hosting a celebration from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 4, for parents, educators and students of all ages at Stepping Stones Museum for Children.

Those who attend the celebration will have the opportunity to meet Rilling, Rivera and Norwalk ACTS members, and will have the opportunity to learn about the resources available for children and parents. Guest readers will read to the students, and local authors will attend as well.
