5 Things: May the Fourth Be With You

Things You Need to Know Today is a Patch column that provides readers with essential, daily information at a glance. Check back later for more, and let us know what you think of the feature in the comments section.

1. Lemonade Day

Come out and support local youth as they participate in Lemonade Day at 1 Willis Drive, Norton. Norton students have learned what it takes to take a business from idea to reality. That business is the legendary lemonade stand. Cups are $.99 and are available starting 11 a.m. Lemonade Day is a strategic 14-step process that walks youth from a dream to a business plan, while teaching them the same principles required to start any big company. Inspiring kids to work hard and make a profit, they are also taught to spend some, save some and share some by giving back to their community.

2. Star Wars Day

May the 4th be with you! Drop by Norton Public Library for free Star Wars related activities and an animated movie starting 11 a.m. It will also include crafts, snacks, trivia and more throughout the day. The movie is 90 minutes and rated PG. Feel free to bring a peanut-free lunch to eat during the show.
