INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL NAMED NATIONAL BLUE RIBBON SCHOOL

The Chagrin Falls Intermediate School was officially notified this past week that they are one of eight elementary schools in the State of Ohio who will be honored as a 2009 National Blue Ribbon School. The Intermediate School will be one of 264 public and 50 private schools from around the country who will be honored at an awards ceremony on November 3 in Washington D.C. The award honors schools who are either academically superior or have made dramatic gains in student achievement among minority and disadvantaged students.  Intermediate School Principal Chuck Murphy held a surprise staff meeting to notify his staff of the honor. The Intermediate School, already named a Hall of Fame School, will formally honor the student body and staff with a ceremony later in November.
