Dear Grandview Families,
October’s Character Trait Focus: Responsibility
This month we are focusing on Responsibility, which we define as: taking action and understanding the impact of our choices. You can learn more about this month’s focus by checking out the latest Character Strong newsletter.
Family Resource
The Purposeful People library is a wonderful tool that organizes book lists by character trait. Consider checking some titles out from your local library or searching YouTube for read-aloud versions. Reading or listening to books together is a great way to start meaningful discussions about responsibility and other important values.
Please remember, I’m here to help support our Tigers. If you have concerns about your child, don’t hesitate to reach out.
Ms. Allison Craig
GES School Counselor

Holiday Assistance Information
The holidays are quickly approaching! Our FRYSC Coordinator, Ms. Gabby, has already sent holiday assistance forms to families who have participated in the program in the past—so please check your email.
If your family is in need of support this holiday season and you did not receive an email, please reach out to Ms. Gabby at gabby.schwaninger@bellevue.kyschools.us. We’ll do our best to provide assistance where possible.
Please remember that this program is intended to supplement your holiday plans, not to provide everything you may need. Don’t hesitate to contact Ms. Gabby with any questions!
