Good morning, Norwalk.

The Norwalk Police and Fire Emerald Society announced the St. Patrick’s Day parade will start at noon Saturday, March 14, at Veterans’ Park and continue through South Norwalk, naming retired teacher Timothy Collins as grand marshal (a longtime supporter) while ending at O’Neill’s Pub and Restaurant.

Norwalk teacher health insurance costs for the Cigna plan are set to rise 33% soon (adding $3.4M in premiums) as school officials may consider returning to the state partnership plan to lower expenses.

St. Paul’s on the Green in Norwalk is expanding its free children’s music program with a weekly chorister program for grades 2 to 12 and paid choral scholar roles for high schoolers — interested families can contact Director Joshua Ehlebracht via email for details.

The Public Works Committee approved a proposal to honor gospel legend Cutie Mae Jordan by naming a portion of Knight Street Cutie Mae Jordan Way, a move now awaiting final City Council vote.

The proposal, submitted by her grandson, highlights her decades of contribution to our community’s music + mentorship.
