Let's Help Kids Start the School Year Off Right!

As caring adults, our support and encouragement can go a long way in helping kids dream big and achieve their goals.  Being intentional about reaching out and sharing a word of encouragement is a great way to show you care -- especially during times of excitement, uncertainty or change. 

A new school year can definitely inspire a whole host of emotions for both young people and adults.  As the kids in your life prepare to head back to school, now is a great time to help them start the new year off on a positive note...literally!  Consider mailing them a letter or sending a quick email/text to tell them how proud you are of them.  You can make it even more fun by including an uplifting card, sketch or doodle.  See below for some inspiration!

TMP and Fred Rogers Productions have teamed up to create encouragement cards that make it easy to start the school year with a little note and a smile!  Featuring some of our favorite Fred Rogers Productions’ neighbors – including Mister Rogers, Daniel Tiger, Peg and Cat, and Donkey Hodie – these cards can be downloaded and printed to drop in the mail or tuck into lunch boxes and backpacks.  You can also screen shot them to email or text to your young person.  Click here to download the cards for free!
