Arthur and LIVESTRONG
The Lance Armstrong Foundation has teamed up with ARTHUR, the award-winning children’s series, to create a special episode plus free resources that will help families and schools talk with kids about cancer. In “The Great MacGrady,” Arthur and his friends deal with the cancer diagnosis of their favorite lunch lady — with the help of Lance Armstrong. The show premieres on PBS for five consecutive days throughout the week of October 19, 2009 – check local listings for broadcast times.
The Family Activity Booklet offers advice and ideas for how to talk with children when a loved one has cancer. In addition, two new LIVESTRONG at School K-2 lesson plans give teachers creative and innovative tools for the classroom.
