Does Grandview have ‘Healthy Youth”?

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Do our students feel safe in our schools? Do they feel safe walking to and from school? Are our students healthy? Are they overweight, under-weight? Are they using drugs? These are all questions that were presented to the Grandview students.

A presentation on the school safety survey results will be presented. The Healthy Youth Survey is taken by students to find out their perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors regarding a wide range of health-related issues and is a collaborative effort between OSPI, the Department of Health, the Office of Community Development, and the Division of Alcohol and Substance Abuse.

Grandview United is currently surveying the community about some of these same issues. Surveys are available online at www.grandviewunited.org. The community is invited to participate in this survey. The data will be used to develop a data bank of people interested in providing mentoring or other skills with the youth of Grandview. The surveys focus on safety and activities that youth of Grandview would like to see in our community.

Grandview United will be hosting a community meeting on May 5th at 5:00 p.m. at Compass High School/Administration Building. The results of the Healthy Youth Survey as well as look at the current responses from the survey underway by Grandview United will be presented. Parents, students, and community members are invited to attend.

Grandview News Launched

Saturday, December 6th, 2008

December 6th – Grandview, Wa

Grandview now has a local internet news source. Grandview News is proud to be a partner with the Grandview United effort. It launched the new web based Grandviewnews.net on December 5th in response to community concerns.

GrandviewNews.net is inviting participation from the  community as eNews reporters. The focus is on the Grandview Community and becoming a portal for communication within the community. The recent gang violence upsurge has spurred community action and Grandview News hopes to further facilitate that community spirit through a community based electronic news publication.

We wish them well and thank them for their support.
