    “I’m very excited to bring the Choose Love curriculum to classrooms and to anyone who would like to learn more about it as it offers something for everyone. I’ve had the opportunity of experiencing firsthand the engagement and positivity of the activities from Choose Love in my own classroom and find this program brings tools for calmness, peace and conflict resolution. I’m even more excited to mention that it is a free curriculum because of how crucial social and emotional health is for the well being of our children and honestly, for everyone. It’s more than just an SEL program, it becomes a mantra for a healthier, positive way of thinking.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
