As kids head back to school, WHRO will be out in the community at several exciting events. Meet some of your favorite PBS Kids characters and enjoy games and fun activities. Make plans today to join us!

Saturday, September 8
S.A.Y. Festival
35th street in Norfolk

The goal of the S.A.Y (Scholar, Arts, and Youth) Festival is to promote academic achievement while we connect and serve our local communities, to provide the community with a fun, family-friendly atmosphere to celebrate the beginning of a new school year, and to fellowship with friends — new and not so new.

The event features free school supplies and a block party with great food and entertainment. Visit WHRO's area to meet Sid the Science Kid. Also receive free books and enjoy fun activities.
