Rootle Roadster Tour Brings

Family Fun to NC Communities

In March, PBS North Carolina kicked off the 2023 Rootle Roadster Tour at Highland Elementary School in Sanford. Now in its second year, the Rootle Roadster Tour travels across the state to share playful learning experiences with families within their own community. Everyone is invited to enjoy free games, activities, resources and demonstrations.

When the Rootle Roadster Tour visited Mount Olive in April, we met Jayden Parrish (shown above). Grandmother Gail Parrish told us Jayden “counts down the days to receiving Centerpiece each month because he loves all things PBS including Rootle.” Jayden, who asked for a PBS North Carolina membership for Christmas, knows why members are so essential: “It is important to support PBS because it provides educational programming.” Thank you, Jayden!

The Rootle Roadster Tour is made possible with support from the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Child Development and Early Education.

THE ROOTLE ROADSTER TOUR IS COMING YOUR WAY

The Rootle Roadster will be visiting the Gaston STEM Leadership Academy on Saturday, August 12, 10 AM–1 PM. Our colorful roadster will also make stops in Siler City and the NC State Fair in Raleigh this fall. Be sure to stop by and say hello! Learn more at pbsnc.org/RoadsterTour

2 | August pbsnc.org
We love meeting PBS superfans like Jayden Parrish during Rootle Roadster Tour stops.

New Episodes of Donkey Hodie

Donkey Hodie and her pals empower kids to dream big and overcome obstacles in their own lives. Enjoy new episodes on Rootle, PBS NC and the PBS KIDS App beginning August 14.

Cyberchase Mobile Adventures in STEM

Get free videos and activities from the PBS KIDS show Cyberchase sent right to your phone. Explore math, science and the environment through indoor and outdoor experiments, games and crafts for kids ages 5–8.

To sign up, text ROOTLE to 30644 today.

Thanks from the Bottom of Our Hearts

Hundreds of educators, caregivers and community partners made our Impact Early Childhood Education Summit a big success this past June. We hope you had a great time connecting, collaborating and learning. Stay updated on next year’s summit by signing up for our eNewsletters at pbsnc.org/signup
