On the morning of December 14, 2012, on the way to school, Jesse McCord Lewis stopped to write “I love you” in the frost on his mother’s car. Just hours later, Jesse was senselessly murdered in his first grade classroom. He was one of the 26 victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. Days prior to the tragedy, on the kitchen chalkboard at home Jesse had written a prophetic message, ‘Nurturing, Healing, Love’.

The Jesse Lewis Choose Love Movement collaborates with professional educators to bring lasting meaning to his murder by developing a free school-based educational programs to change our current culture of violence to one of safety, peace & love for everyone. This is the single guiding principle, the sole purpose & motto of our work: Teaching others to Choose Love through our CHOOSE LOVE ENRICHMENT PROGRAM through social, emotional, learning.
