Today, First Lady Frances Wolf offered encouraging messages to children,
parents, teachers, and caregivers through the release of a series of
videos created in collaboration with Pennsylvania PBS titled
#TogetherPennsylvania.
Videos in the series include:
• A reading of “Ruby Finds a Worry” by Tom Percival and discussion on
how to deal with anxiety with Pennsylvania Secretary of Health Dr.
Rachel Levine;
• A message of encouragement to middle schoolers;
• A message of congratulations to the Class of 2020;
• A video visit between the First Lady and Daniel Tiger of “Daniel
Tiger’s Neighborhood,” the animated PBS KIDS series produced by Fred
Rogers Productions, sharing ways children can be helpful to their
families during the pandemic;
• Ideas on how to have fun while staying at home; and
• A message of support to parents, caregivers and educators.
“To the children, parents, caregivers, and educators of Pennsylvania: I
want you to know that we see you, we appreciate you, and we couldn’t get
through this without you,” said Wolf. “Through this partnership with
Pennsylvania PBS, we hope to tap into the human side of what is
happening and remind everyone that their perseverance matters. We truly
are in this together, and all Pennsylvanians – from our youngest, to our
oldest, and everyone in between – play such an important role in our
collective well-being.”
Videos that have been released for #TogetherPennsylvania can be found on
any Pennsylvania PBS station’s broadcast channel, social media platform
