On March 23, we’re going to find out. Join FrED Camp — a free professional development event for every kind of educator — and learn from fellow educators who make Mister Rogers matter still today, including Anne Fullenkamp (Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh) and Paul Siefken (Fred Rogers Productions).
