GPB HOSTS BE MY NEIGHBOR DAY FEATURING PBS KIDS FAVORITE DANIEL TIGER

Daniel Tiger poses with a young fan A fter several years of waiting, GPB was thrilled to bring Daniel Tiger back to Atlanta for a fun filled Be My Neighbor Day celebration at the East Lake YMCA in August. This annual event had been on hold during the COVID-19 pandemic, and enthusiasm was high as hundreds of children and families from throughout the metro area were able to gather and enjoy games and activities themed around social emotional learning and the timeless wisdom of Fred Rogers. Children participated in hands-on activities designed to give them choices while encouraging curiosity, gratitude and generosity. Perhaps most exciting of all for the young attendees was meeting Daniel Tiger himself!
