Choose Love Virtual Assemblies

Choose Love Virtual Assemblies

Dear Port Jervis Learning Community,

I hope this letter finds you and your family well. On Thursday, May 21, 2020 I am proud to
share that the Port Jervis City School District will be hosting multiple virtual assemblies focused
on our Social Emotional Learning Program, Choose Love. The Choose Love Enrichment
Program, is a Pre-K through 12th grade, character development and Social and Emotional
Learning (SEL) program that teaches educators and their students how to choose love in any
circumstance through wonderfully simple yet powerful themes and practices for the classroom
that naturally evolve into a culture where students feel safe, nurtured, connected, and
empowered. The founder and moderator of the event, Scarlett Lewis, is the recipient of the
International Forgiveness Award , the Live Your Legacy Award and the Common Ground Award
for her advocacy work for peace and forgiveness.

Please feel free to learn more about the program here: https://www.jesselewischooselove.org/

The tentative schedule is posted below. A link to the Zoom Conference will be shared by our
building staff prior to the event to each student’s Google Classroom. As always please contact
me should you have any questions at the number listed above.
