October 19th, we hosted our 2nd Annual Reading with H.E.A.R.T, partnership between Norwalk Public Library and Growing Seeds Pre School, LLC . Growing Seeds is the school that our dear Elijah attended for Pre K Learning. This year was special because we choose to read our dear friend and sHERO book, Nia Means Purpose by The Now I Am NIA Foundation, Inc. founder Lavone Roberson.
She wrote about Nia, a fictional character who helps people learn purpose. Lavone died in 2022 after a long battle with ovarian cancer. Lavone was first diagnosed with the disease in 2015. The disease returned in 2018. Read more about her story of triumph and great legacy here |

Norwalk Night Out is a large block party that takes place right outside of Norwalk Police Headquarters. We bring our community members and local business together in an effort to enhance community safety. Many local businesses participate by bringing items to hand out free (tchotchkes) while promoting their businesses, sharing information, and getting to know their neighbors. Stop by and say hi!

We would like to share with you some good news! Our Co-executive- Tremain Gilmore was crowned ‘Staff Member of the Month’ at Norwalk High School. Below are the beautiful words shared to the staff at the high school. “We are very excited to introduce Mr. Tremaine(Gil)Gilmore as the Staff Member of the Month for March. Gil is a giant among men and his contributions to NHS and our community cannot be measured. Gil is a wonderful role model and activist whose impact on the lives of young people is truly special: whether mentoring students through his many goodwill initiatives and work such as the Carver Center, fund-raising activities, or his many entrepreneurial endeavors. As the epitome of a professional, Gil is dignified in his work and generous with his time and support of his colleagues and he is always willing to step in as second in charge in Mr. Lewis’ absence. Gil has the innate ability to bring people together and this has been evident through his work in developing the Elijah Gilmore Scholarship Fund in memory of his son. The scholarship is awarded annually to an NHS senior who plans to attend college and displays compassion and commitment for others while being civic-minded.” |
