Gurney students stepped outside the classroom for a hands-on bus safety lesson with our amazing bus drivers! 🚌✨

Students learned to always watch for the driver’s signals before boarding. Drivers raise their hand to signal WAIT and lower it to show it’s safe to cross or get on the bus.

They also practiced how to safely cross the street near a school bus and reviewed the rules for riding.

A big thank you to our transportation team for teaching these important skills and making it fun! 👏

Observe the Rainbow! 🌈🔬

Mrs. Adick’s 4th graders turned the CFIS Science Lab into a place of discovery this week. With Skittles and warm water, students practiced the scientific method by carefully observing what happened and recording their results.

In 4th grade, students are learning to think and act like scientists - asking good questions, testing ideas, and using evidence to explain what they see.

We love seeing the science lab in action, what a great way to start the year! 🌟

First Steps in the Science Lab!🧪

Mrs. Moore’s 7th grade scientists wasted no time diving into hands-on lab practice last week. While they didn’t quite discover the next big scientific breakthrough 😉, they did sharpen essential skills—measuring, recording data, and cleaning up like pros.

These early lab adventures set the stage for bigger investigations ahead, making sure students are ready to apply the scientific process with confidence. 💫

What a great way to kick off the year—mixing brain breaks with a little fun in the library!

Throwback Thursday takes us back to 1985, when our yearbook photographers caught longtime high school custodian Ray Markuszka in action, raising the flag.

Ray’s spirit and dedication left a lasting mark on Chagrin Schools. Yesterday, we carried on his legacy by presenting our 20-year service award, now named in his honor, to this year’s recipients.

If you remember Ray, we’d love to hear your stories of how he made a difference in your time at Chagrin Falls.
