A NOTE FROM SYLVIA
Each spring we welcome thousands of children to our Lowertown studios in Saint Paul to celebrate “Be My Neighbor Day.” It’s a day that honors the legacy of Fred Rogers, the iconic children’s TV presenter who believed in teaching kindness and understanding. I had the great privilege to meet Mister Rogers once, and then work with his wife Joanne and Mr. McFeely on some wonderful Good Neighbor initiatives earlier in my career. Fred Rogers remains an inspirational figure and positive role model to our children – the impact of his work to teach and demonstrate kindness to generations of public television viewers continues.
Though we are unable to host an in-person event due to COVID-19, this year we are introducing more ways to engage and celebrate, including a free virtual event on Saturday, April 24th, that includes on air programming on TPT LIFE. Visit tpt.org/events for registration and event details. Trusted multi-media educational content is needed now more than ever. At Twin Cities PBS (TPT), we believe every child matters and is entitled to free, safe, and trusted educational resources. TPT is here to provide you with the support you need as you face the growing challenge of keeping your kids healthy, connected, and on track for success. Discover valuable resources online at tpt.org/learn .
We are proud to continue to provide quality programming for all Minnesotans and look forward to the day we are able to gather in person again.
Best Regards, Sylvia Strobel, President and CEO, Twin Cities PBS
