School Safety Begins Long Before There is a Threat.
What’s Love Got To Do With It?
EVERYTHING!
This is not another traditional school safety conference.
We’re not gathering simply to discuss stronger doors, better cameras, emergency drills, or what to do after violence occurs.
Those conversations matter. They are part of keeping our children safe.
We’re gathering to explore what we can do BEFORE violence occurs.
We’re challenging ourselves to look beyond symptoms and behaviors and consider the human beings behind them.
What happens when a child feels rejected, humiliated, disconnected, powerless, or hopeless?
How do we help children navigate emotional pain rather than avoid, numb, suppress, or act out because of it?
How can we help them develop the courage and confidence to face life’s challenges, move through adversity, and even grow from painful experiences?
And how do we ensure every child knows they matter?
It’s time to expand our understanding of safety to include the inner lives of our children.
Because a school can have locked doors and security cameras and still have children inside who feel profoundly unsafe, unseen, and alone.
True school safety requires both physical protection and the proactive nurturing of human connection, emotional well-being, and essential life skills.

Jesse Lewis Annual Fundraiser
Fundraising Goal:
$200,000
School safety needs a bolder conversation.
The Choose Love Movement Summit is pushing the envelope by bringing together voices we need to hear. Principals navigating safety decisions, students sharing what helps them feel safe and supported, and individuals who committed school shootings reflecting on what they believe could have interrupted their path to violence.
Together, we’ll ask difficult questions, challenge assumptions, and explore opportunities for prevention that deserve greater attention. Current efforts are leaving too many children unprotected. What are we missing, , and what can we do differently?
We can do better. Let’s do it together.
A Special Guest. An Inspiring Message.
