Season two of <em>Alma\u2019s Way<\/em>, created by Sonia Manzano (<em>Sesame Street<\/em>), is set to premiere on September 18 on PBS KIDS.<\/p>\n<p>The series, which debuted in 2021, follows 6-year-old Alma Rivera, a confident Puerto Rican girl who lives in the Bronx with her family. In each episode, Alma models life lessons while encouraging kids to develop critical thinking skills.<\/p>\n<p>The grant to Fred Rogers Productions supports the development of <em>Alma\u2019s Way<\/em> engagement activities as well as ongoing support for Be My Neighbor Days, the community outreach initiative from <em>Daniel Tiger\u2019s Neighborhood<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPNC Foundation is a valued supporter of educational programs for young children, and this grant for <em>Alma\u2019s Way<\/em> will enable us to continue to fulfill our goal to provide enriching content and experiences for children and their families,\u201d said Paul Siefken, president and CEO of Fred Rogers Productions. \u201cWe and PNC Foundation share a common goal of meeting the needs of kids where they are, and we look forward to continuing to serve our communities together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen Fred Rogers Productions shared the <em>Alma\u2019s Way<\/em> concept with us, we knew we wanted to play a role in bringing this important learning opportunity to young children,\u201d said Sally McCrady, chair and president of PNC Foundation. \u201cInvesting in early education is a powerful way to create a meaningful difference in the communities we serve. That\u2019s the driving force behind PNC Grow Up Great, which has been making an impact across our footprint for nearly 20 years.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fred Rogers Productions has been awarded a $1.3 million PNC Foundation grant to support Alma\u2019s Way, its newest PBS KIDS series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3087,"featured_media":25686,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[5787,8229,128,3658,7585,8230],"class_list":["post-25685","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-almas-way","tag-be-my-neighbor-day","tag-daniel-tigers-neighborhood","tag-fred-rogers-productions","tag-paul-siefken","tag-sally-mccrady","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Fred Rogers Productions Secures PNC Grant - TVKIDS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/fred-rogers-productions-secures-pnc-grant\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Fred Rogers Productions Secures PNC Grant - TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Fred Rogers Productions has been awarded a $1.3 million PNC Foundation grant to support Alma\u2019s Way, its newest PBS KIDS series.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/fred-rogers-productions-secures-pnc-grant\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-08-25T13:52:42+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-25T13:57:35+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/07\/AlmasWay-PBSKIDS-0823.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"640\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"360\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Alexa Alfano\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Alexa Alfano\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/fred-rogers-productions-secures-pnc-grant\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/fred-rogers-productions-secures-pnc-grant\/\",\"name\":\"Fred Rogers Productions Secures PNC Grant - TVKIDS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2023-08-25T13:52:42+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-08-25T13:57:35+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/2653b97e27eaf76a4713c75f0e821dad\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/fred-rogers-productions-secures-pnc-grant\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/fred-rogers-productions-secures-pnc-grant\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/fred-rogers-productions-secures-pnc-grant\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Fred Rogers Productions Secures PNC Grant\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\",\"name\":\"TVKIDS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/2653b97e27eaf76a4713c75f0e821dad\",\"name\":\"Alexa Alfano\",\"description\":\"Alexa Alfano is associate editor at World Screen.
