Small & Simple Things
It sounds simple, but the little things we do add up to make a big difference in our youth.
If we all remember to think about our interactions with the youth in our community and how we can build them up in the things we already do, we truly will be growing a positive community.
Join our Schools in Building Assets
Each month the Gridley Unified School District will focus on a particular asset. We invite the community to join us in focusing on building these assets in our youth by doing some simple things that build the assets we will be talking about that month in our schools.
The following are starter ideas on ways for adults to develop assets in youth.
