Success Stories

*Florida School's Reading Day features Hugs, Handshakes and High Fives St. Cecelia’s Catholic School’s first-grade classroom got to partake in a special “Reading Day” featuring The Alexander Foundation’s Hugs, Handshakes and High Fives. Mr. Dominic Prioli, a father of one of the first-grade students, bought a copy for each child in the first-grade class after reading the book with his own children and seeing the impact it made on them. He gave each student the book prior to coming in to read the book with the children.

If you would like to help The Alexander Foundation spread this positive message, please purchase a copy or copies of the book and distribute them to schools, hospitals, libraries, or other places in your local community. Getting this message out will help raise awareness about how we treat those with disabilities and will hopefully cause a change in the way people treat those who are different from them.

If you work at an elementary school, daycare, children's hospital, or any place where this book would be a good fit, feel free to contact us. We’d love to work with you to create a plan for distributing the book and sharing its message.
