Sesame Street to Broadcast Special Hurricane Katrina Episodes Sept. 12-16

SEPT. 7, 2005 | To give families, teachers, and shelter staff material for helping children affected by Hurricane Katrina, Sesame Workshop will air a special five-part series of the television program Sesame Street about a hurricane hitting the beloved Sesame Street neighborhood.

The episodes, to air Sept. 12-16, will reassure children and help them learn to cope with the stress of the hurricane’s aftermath. Sesame Workshop encourages teachers, parents, shelter staff, and others to record the episodes for repeated use. (Recordings of the television program may be used for one year from the original broadcast dates without breaking copyright laws if they are used for educational purposes).

Local schedules for the program are available at a special Internet section of the Sesame Workshop web site, along with information about helping children cope. The site includes streaming video spots, book lists, and advice for parents in Spanish and English, and a detailed synopsis of the special hurricane episodes.
