In 2010, CLIFFORD will celebrate ten years on PBS. To commemorate this special occasion, PBS KIDS® and Scholastic Media have selected Monday, January 18, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service, to begin their Be Big With Clifford: Ten Days, Ten Ways event. This celebration will showcase, over a 10 day period, Clifford’s ten BIG IDEAS, highlighting key life lessons that will help children learn social and character building skills. Clifford’s mission is to “invite everyone, big and small, to take action and raise awareness for how his BIG IDEAS can make the world a better place.”
The BIG IDEAS featured each day are:
January 18 – Help Others
January 19 – Have Respect
January 20 – Work Together
January 21 – Be Kind
January 22 – Be Truthful
January 25 – Believe In Yourself
January 26 – Play Fair
January 27 – Be a Good Friend
January 28 – Share
January 29 – Be Responsible
To make this celebration even more special, the Community Idea Stations is partnering with The Great Big Greenhouse to bring everyone’s favorite dog, Clifford, for a visit. He will be at The Great Big Greenhouse on Saturday, January 23 to meet and greet his fans. Appearance times are 10 a.m., 11 a.m., 12 Noon, 1 p.m., 2 p.m., and 3 p.m. There will be children’s activities and a book give-away, while supplies last. Plan to join us for a day of fun with the “Kids Day in the Garden”.
