Monday Motivation: Dominique Rivera Reading for Creating Compassionate Children

#MondayMotivation

Unicorn Children’s Foundation Ambassador Dominique Rivera read Exceptionally Good Friends: Building Relationships with Autism to the students of Orchard View Elementary School as part of the Creating Compassionate Children campaign. This is a distribution of a character development curriculum designed to help students create a culture of understanding, acceptance, inclusion, and respect by encouraging meaningful change in preschool and elementary school classrooms. In doing so, we can foster caring peer support and eliminate bullying.
