“Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” An Evening Program for the whole family.
Come together for a heartwarming, intergenerational experience as we explore the timeless lessons drawn from the popular and long running “Mr Rogers Neighborhood” TV program. This weeklong evening program is designed to help individuals and families of all ages to connect, learn, and grow in understanding and kindness.
