Dear Families,
October is a wonderful time of year filled with changing leaves, fun traditions, and lots of excitement! As we enjoy the season, it is also a great opportunity to reinforce the positive behaviors that help children feel safe, successful, and supported.🍂🎃
🐘 KLRN invites families to a special screening of Sesame Street and the Great Elephant Adventure at select local libraries! Families will enjoy a special 20-minute sneak peek featuring Elmo’s adventure at an elephant sanctuary and encounters with amazing African wildlife. After the screening, explore nature-themed resources, Sesame Street activity books, and snap a photo with Sesame Street character standees. Catch the official premiere tonight at 7PM on-air and streaming on the PBS app and PBS KIDS app!
🍂 A Safe and Happy October
Halloween provides a wonderful opportunity to practice the skills children use every day: following directions, communicating their needs, showing kindness, making safe choices, and managing big feelings.

Wishing all of our families a safe, happy, and fun-filled October! 🍁🎃
With appreciation,
