The Buzzword is…MYSELF | YO MISMO

As part of Buzzword’s programming, we distribute our signature “BUZZ Boxes” to local families to help excite children from birth to age five, as well as their caregivers, about new words that are all around them. These family engagement kits come complete with a high-quality children's book and enriching activities that support early literacy skills and development.

This month, Buzzword will debut the first bilingual BUZZ Box. Our latest buzzword - MYSELF and YO MISMO - gives children ages birth to five and their caregivers the opportunity to connect through science, art, music, and early literacy activities that celebrate our connections between neighbors, friends, and family, and the importance of community.

Bilingual Event

Join Buzzword on Saturday, March 9, from 11 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. at the Kingsley Association in East Liberty as we explore MYSELF and YO MISMO during a bilingual family-friendly event. 

During this event, children ages birth to five and their caregivers will engage with each other to create meaningful moments through interactive activities from our friends from the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust and the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy. Interpreters will be present, and programming will be available in English and Spanish.

Buzzword is collaborating with the Allegheny County Family Centers network, Kingsley Association, and the Latino Community Center on this event. Registration is required.
