Circle of Grandparents in Central Ohio

As Realtors in the Columbus, Ohio area, selling real estate for over 40 years, we pride ourselves in our involvement in the communities we serve. One activity we love to participate in is called, “Circle of Grandparents www.circleofgrandparents.com .” It is not necessary to be a grandparent to participate, just a willing volunteer. Under the umbrella of PCC, Partners for Citizenship and Character, established in the mid to late 90’s, Circle of Grandparents volunteers monthly, or more, in various elementary schools in Worthington Schools, in central Ohio.

Yesterday was our last day with the first graders at Worthington Estates School. We discussed the word for May, TRUSTWORTHINESS. We sang, we read a book about the trusty elephant the mailman, we did a “do you trust?” game and simply discussed. From September, 2009 thru May 2010, we have discussed with the children Respect, Responsibility, Self-discipline, Compassion, Tolerance, Honesty, Diligence, and Commitment. Time did not permit the last three: Moral Courage, Spirituality, and Integrity.

These young children listened with their ears and their hearts and communicated with us their thoughts on the meaning of the qualities of each month and shared their experiences with us. It was awesome to hear about the feelings and beliefs coming forth from such young minds. We felt we were learning as much as we hoped they were learning. We are hopeful that next Fall, as second graders, they will show these qualities to their classmates and we will all be better for it!

Consider moving to our wonderful communities in central Ohio. Worthington, Dublin, Upper Arlington, New Albany, Westerville, Hilliard, Grandview, the Short North and downtown homes and condominiums all have so much to offer. Call us at 1-800-848-6996 or visit us at www.camtaylor.com. We work with first time buyers to retirees, starter homes to million dollar estates. We are SRES certified and many hold the CRS, CRB, GRI designations. We are with you from start to finish, through the process of buying or selling your home.
