Show Notes
Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street? We can—right here in Sullivan County! The Homestead School in Glen Spey, NY, was the backdrop for a new short featuring real students and teachers, capturing a full day in the life of a schoolkid.
The episode, featured in Season 55 titled “New School Scaries,” follows children navigating first-day jitters—from lockers to lunch to heading home—offering young viewers an authentic school experience.
The project was written and directed by Narrowsburg-based filmmaker Tina Spangler, founder of the Big Eddy Film Festival, with her daughter Lulu providing voice-over work. Local filmmaker Oriel Danielsen shot and edited the short. Spangler said she wanted to showcase the school and community to a national audience.
The short premiered on HBO on September 5 and will air on PBS later this fall. Sesame Street is also moving to Netflix soon, continuing its decades-long run.
