💜 Staff Highlight 💚 Meet Michael, another one of our awesome Discovery Guides! Michael has been part of the Stepping Stones team since 2008 – wow, 18 years! His favorite part of working at the museum is bringing fun and energy to kids throughout the day – especially in The Theater, where he loves dancing and running around with visitors. Outside of work, Michael enjoys beach days in the summer and playing racing video games like Need for Speed.

Let’s hear it for Michael! 👏

No school on Memorial Day means more time to play! We’ll be OPEN Monday, May 25, during our regular hours from 10:00 am – 5:00 pm.

While we enjoy this special holiday weekend, we also pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. We’re also deeply grateful to those who currently serve and all who have served honorably. 🇺🇸

It’s been a Tasty Thursday around here! 🥬 Today’s sampling consisted of fresh arugula, kale and spinach grown locally by Gilbertie's Organics in Westport. Kids (and their grownups!) got to sample fresh farm-grown foods – including a few first-time bites for many of them – and then rate each one: liked it, loved it or tried it. Stay tuned for more Tasty Thursdays ahead! 😋
