Jesse Lewis Choose Love Foundation<\/a>, which provides a free curriculum for educators on social emotional learning.<\/p>\n“It’s teaching how to get along, how to have deep and meaningful connections, how to manage emotions,” she said. “It’s teaching coping skills.”<\/p>\n
She says it all starts with nurturing, healing, and love — the last message the Jesse left on his kitchen chalkboard.<\/p>\n
“It was a spiritual awareness that he wasn’t going to be on earth much longer,” Lewis said. “That it was a message of comfort for his family and friends.”<\/p>\n
Prairie Elementary Teacher Lisa Mackenzie launched the Choose Love formula at the Elk Grove School District last year. Already, she’s seeing a difference in the students.<\/p>\n
“They’re able to look at other students and read their faces, which is often times something that goes unnoticed,” Mackenzie said. “They are more forgiving, and become better problem solvers.”<\/p>\n
The program is spreading quickly, having been downloaded more than 1,000 times in 47 states and 20 different countries. Lewis believes its popularity stems from the universal message of love.<\/p>\n
The message struck a chord with 6th-grader Mehima Kumar.<\/p>\n
“If we don’t change then who’s going to change? And the world needs more love, so that there wouldn’t be any hate,” Kumar said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
