Thank you for making this year's Be My Neighbor Day the largest event Detroit PBS has ever produced! 🐯

More than 3,000 neighbors joined us at Eastern Market Shed 3 for a day where kindness, connection, and community came to life.

We have uploaded our full photo album so you can easily view and download your family's favorite moments: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjD2Wed 🔗📸

To every family who came out: We want you to know that we see you, you belong here, and our community is rooting for your children.

A massive thank you to the partners, volunteers, supporters, and our Detroit PBS team who made this extraordinary day possible. We couldn't have done it without you!

New school experiences aren't always easy! Encouraging your child to set small goals, share their feelings, and ask questions are a few ways you can support them as they enter a new school year.
