Check out five great deals that include half-price flowers, a discounted tutoring session and a fun, free event at Giant Steps that will have you 'chugging' along this weekend

Chuggington Event: Build miles and miles of track all around Giant Steps! Ride the railway with Wilson, Brewster, Koko and all the Chuggington characters - all for free! Decorate and color your own Chuggington train and color a Chuggington picture. A fun morning is planned at Giant Steps in Fairfield from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday. Don’t miss out on free giveaways.

Hibachi at Half the Price: Don’t miss this delicious deal from Tombo Hibachi & Tiki Lounge in Fairfield. Chances are you’re not a trained hibachi chef, so you'll want to cash in on $45 worth of food and drink for just $22. That's half off a dinner that’s also a show.

Photo Session for a Good Cause: During the month of May, Classic Kids Photography is offering $150 mini shoots; and what’s more, 100 percent of your sitting fee goes directly to St. Jude. Extra subjects within same family are $50. Call 203-622-2358 to schedule an appointment. Limited space is available.

Flowers at Half Price: Mother’s Day may have come and gone, but any time is a good one to get Mom or that special someone a beautiful arrangement of flowers.  And who doesn’t love flowers even more at half price? Get $25 for $50 worth of flowers at Paradise Garden redeemable online. Although the value of this Groupon can’t be applied toward shipping, the Paradise Garden website can help you determine those costs.

Summer Tutoring: Everyone loves summer fun, but kids can also keep their minds sharp during the lazy days of July and August before school resumes. Check out these tutoring packages from Tutoring Club in Stamford or Ridgefield: Four 60-minute tutoring sessions for $99 (a $335 value), or, for $49, get two 60-minute tutoring sessions (a $230 value). You can purchase this deal from LivingSocial through this Saturday.

Forgive me, I guess I don't quite see how we are 1 million over budget? What financials are youRead More referring too? The third quarter statement of account? Was last year the year the BOE returned $ to the town? Absolutely agree with you about the middle school, we need more STEM offerings. Right now high schoolers are required to show they are proficient in Microsoft Office. Many take a semester long course to help prepare for the test (seems like that time could be better spent). Other students just take the proficiency test. Seems like this can be something that can be addressed earlier than high school. Why not offer the course to 8th graders, and let them show they are proficient in Microsoft Office before they even get to high school.

It seems apparent to me as I watch children getting picked up in the morning by school buses thatRead More there is some stream lining that could be done with the school bus budget. There are at least five separate buses that pick up children in front of my hose on Jennings road each morning 4 of which are all elementary. Can all these children in a two block radius go to different schools and if they do why. all the buses are almost empty when they pick up these children. Why then potentially are we paying all this money for buses when less can be used?

For flat, easy terrain, the beach area and old post road offer the best situations. On weekendsRead More you'll find plenty of bike riders in the area so you'll have some company and there is plenty of scenery. Also, there are a couple of multi-use off-road paths located at Ash Creek (near Fairfield Metro Station) and Pine Creek.
