Good afternoon. I am emailing you all this afternoon to let you know about a unique opportunity that will be made available to EGHS students on Thursday during advisory. Mrs. Scarlett Lewis, founder of the "Jessie Lewis Choose Love Movement" and member of the President's Federal Council on School Safety, will be at EGHS delivering her presentation to students, faculty and staff. In her presentation Mrs. Lewis discusses how her experiences as a parent who lost a son at Sandy Hook, as well as her son's actions in 2012, led to her relentless pursuit to make schools safer through social and emotional learning (SEL).

While this is a very busy time of year at EGHS with midterm exams, the close of the 2nd quarter, the upcoming performances of "Newsies" and so much more, I ask that you please encourage your child to consider attending this optional assembly on Thursday during advisory.

If you would like to learn more about Mrs. Scarlett Lewis and/or the Jessie LewisChoose Love campaign please visit www.jesselewischooselove.org

I thank you in advance for your help and support. Have a wonderful rest of your day.
