The Creston Valley Advance visits a Roots of Empathy classroom:
Mrs. Palmer’s Kindergarten children at Yaqan Nukiy Elementary school are taking part in the world-renowned, Canadian-based program called Roots of Empathy which teaches children about communication, anti-bullying and understanding their own and others’ feelings. Their Roots of Empathy facilitator is Educational Assistant Devon Baltrus and their tiny teacher is eight month old Isolde (Issy) Bilcik.
