CIRCLE OF GRANDPARENTS

A CHARACTER EDUCATION PROGRAM OF THE WORTHINGTON SCHOOLS

AND THE PARTNERS FOR COMMUNITY AND CHARACTER

"I have a vision of grandparent-aged adults holding hands, circling our community,

protecting our children and guiding them to good character - like a circle of grandparents."

                                                                                                                                                                                           - Steve Rowe, circa 1999
