About this event

Please join us as we bring together our K-6 students and families to celebrate the legacy of Fred Rogers and affirm that Shaler Area values kindness, acceptance, and gratitude toward our neighbors as an important part of our community.

Join us for the Shaler Area School District 143 Day of Kindness Event, a celebration honoring the legacy of Fred Rogers and fostering a culture of kindness, acceptance, and gratitude within our community. This special gathering invites K-6 students and their families to come together and embrace the values that define Shaler Area.

Our event promises a day filled with uplifting activities that inspire compassion and connection. From collaborative art projects to engaging mindfulness exercises, all activities are meant to inspire kindness and celebrate our differences while acknowledging that we are one community. Additionally, a sensory-friendly space will be available at the event to ensure that all attendees can fully participate and enjoy the festivities in a comfortable and supportive environment.

As we pay homage to Fred Rogers, a beloved figure whose message of love and acceptance continues to resonate, special guest readers will share stories that capture the essence of kindness. The stories shared will serve as a reminder of the power of simple acts of kindness in shaping a brighter world.

The 143 Day of Kindness Event also allows families to interact with community partners from within the district and across the broader Pittsburgh area. These partners will offer valuable resources and opportunities to enrich the lives of children and families, fostering a supportive network as an extension of what happens in school.

Whether exploring new artistic expressions, practicing mindfulness techniques, or discovering resources to support your child’s growth, there’s something for everyone at this inclusive event. Together, we reaffirm our commitment to building a community where kindness flourishes, and everyone feels valued and respected.

Join us as we come together to celebrate kindness, embrace inclusivity, and cultivate a culture of gratitude that uplifts us all. Together, we can create a feeling of positivity that extends far beyond this day, shaping a future where kindness and compassion are embedded in all we do.

This event is open to all Shaler Area School District students and families.
