Roots of Empathy "... is a wonderful program that teaches a classroom community to see the world through the eyes of others. Gaining a deeper understanding of the development of a young child enabled my students to accept their own differences and the difference of their classmates. Students not only gained an appreciation for how difficult it is to raise a child but also how many factors influence a child’s life. Through the Roots of Empathy program we learned valued life lessons that will continue to influence our students throughout their lifetimes." Local Teacher
