Welcome to ROE News!

The school and WEHSA are happy to announce that we will be bringing you regular updates on the Roots of Empathy program through the WEHSA website.  The program is currently being offered to both of our Grade 1 classes.

We have created a blog called "Roots of Empathy News" or "ROE News", for short, where we will be posting highlights and happenings on the program. We hope you will check in regularly to find out about the latest happenings.

We would have liked to begin sharing news from the get-go, but it was very important to have the proper permissions for publication from all the participants in our program.

We encourage you to share ROE News with your child, family and friends. We would also love to hear from you. The blog has a comment feature where you can share your thoughts.

Over the next few weeks we will be catching up a little bit.   You will get to learn how ROE came to be at the school, meet the babies and their families, and the instructors, as well as see pictures from our Course for Kindness Walk-a-thon where funds raised through your generosity made ROE a reality at our school.

As a first post, we would like to remind everyone of ROE's objectives which are outlined below.  For more detailed information, please visit
 www.rootsofempathy.org.

Roots of Empathy’s mission is to build caring, peaceful, and civil societies through the development of empathy in children and adults.

Specifically, its goals are to:
  • Foster the development of empathy.
  • Develop emotional literacy.
  • Reduce levels of bullying, aggression and violence, and promote children's pro-social behaviours.
  • Increase knowledge of human development, learning and infant safety.
  • Prepare students for responsive citizenship and responsive parenting.
