(Beaver, PA) Students in sixth grade and above from the Beaver Area School District listened to speeches on March 15th at their high school about six important lessons of the late Fred Rodgers. The conversations were called “FREDTalks,” and the subjects were carefully looking and listening, curiosity, play, self-worth, solitude and trust. The authors of a book themed on Mr. Rodgers also had a book signing and students who were essay competition finalists spoke about their work. According to the Beaver Area School District, there are plans to expand the event next year. More Beaver County schools being included in the event is also being discussed.
