Apply for the Free Pilot ProgramWhat Your School Gets
A FREE 2-week pilot — no cost, no commitment beyond honest feedback.
- Two 20–30 minute lessons per week
- Built around a simple 5-color framework
- No new technology required
We're selecting 3 elementary schools for this fall's pilot, in exchange for teacher and principal feedback that helps us refine the program.
Why RALO Bear
We've donated RALO Bear plush companions to schools in the past, and the feedback has been wonderful — teachers tell us how much kids enjoy having RALO Bear in the classroom, and how the bear has become a simple, tangible way to help students talk about and understand their emotions.
Emotional Strength Foundations™ builds on that same idea, with a structured curriculum designed specifically for Pre-K–2nd grade classrooms.

RALO stands for Rising Above Life’s Obstacles, and every part of his design gently teaches a lesson:
❤️ Red — Love
💛 Yellow — Positivity
💚 Green — Trust
💙 Blue — Belief
🖤 Black — Strength
RALO also wears stitched scars and a small bandage—tender reminders that healing takes time and that it’s okay to have hard days.
