Through the eyes of children, the world is simple—kindness, respect, and helping others. 💚 This Grade 2 student in Newfoundland & Labrador captures the heart of Roots of Empathy. When children understand the power of kindness, they shape a more inclusive and caring future. #RootsofEmpathy #MasterpieceMonday

We’re grateful for the warm welcome our Roots of Empathy community receives in participating schools across Newfoundland and Labrador 💚 Teachers, principals, and school staff play an essential role in shaping the future—not just through education but by nurturing empathy and emotional wellbeing in children. Mary Gordon, Founder of Roots of Empathy and a proud Newfoundlander, began her career as a teacher and has spent her life advocating for empathy in education. She was honoured with the Order of Newfoundland and Labrador and received multiple honorary doctorates, including one from Memorial University of Newfoundland. Her belief that 'To teach is to touch the future' reflects the lasting impact of educators everywhere. This Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week, we celebrate and thank you for all you do 🌱 #RootsofEmpathy #TeacherAppreciationWeek #NL
