Union City Elementary School uses the Choose Love Program to focus on Social Emotional Learning ( SEL) at a universal level. The Choose Love Program is a next generation social and emotional learning and character education development program that  teaches skills that help to promote compassion, connection, optimism, personal responsibility and resiliency. Students learn the Choose Love Formula which is Courage + Gratitude + Forgiveness + Compassion= Choosing Love.  The program will be taught to all the students in the district (K-12). At the elementary school, approximately every 3 weeks, we will focus on one of the four character traits (courage, gratitude, forgiveness, and compassion).
