Springs Murrieta Student Center is participating in the Choose Love movement, reported Principal Julia Krisel, which “is a proactive solution that addresses the root cause of violence to prevent it before it starts.” The program seeks to create safer schools “by teaching students how to use nurturing, healing love in any circumstance.”
Components include social contracts that students help create. Julia continued, “We believe that if students have a say in how their classroom behaviors and rules should be, then they will take pride in their actions, behaviors and choices. And, we can direct them back to the norms that they have created together if they forget.”
