"Today and every day, choose one loving thought over one angry thought and encourage every child you know to do the same." – Scarlett Lewis

Scarlett Lewis, mother of Jesse Lewis and founder of The Jesse Lewis Choose Love Foundation is a new activist for peace. On December 14th, 2012, Scarlett’s six-year old son, Jesse McCord Lewis, walked out of his house and down the driveway towards his father who was waiting to drive him to school. Along the way, Jesse stopped to write a message with his finger in the frost on his mother’s car: “I love you.” Just hours later, Jesse was gone. He was one of the 26 victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings in Newtown, Connecticut. 

Days prior, Jesse wrote three words on his chalkboard at home: “Nurturing. Healing. Love.”  Following Jesse’s death, Scarlett wrote Nurturing Healing Love, the story of her journey from personal tragedy to a movement that can change the world. The Jesse Lewis Choose Love Foundation collaborates with educators to develop school-based programs to change our current culture of violence to one of safety, peace and love. Its single guiding principle and motto is - Teaching Others to Choose Love. Visit www.jesselewischooselove.org  Watch “Choose Love.”
