Tiger Day at Gurney! Our youngest Tigers hit the field today for an unforgettable Tiger Day filled with games, music, and popsicles—you can practically smell summer in the air! A big thank you to our neighbors for celebrating the sounds of the season with us. According to our expert panel (aka the kids), the music helped make this the best Tiger Day yet—10/10! Great job Mr. Cannon and all of the volunteers who made it possible!!🎉 #ChagrinSchools #ChagrinFalls #ChagrinTigers #CFtogether 🐯🧡🖤

🧠🐝 Spelling Stars in the Spotlight! 🐝🧠 Twenty brave 2nd and 3rd graders stepped up to the mic and into the spotlight for our school spelling bee! Spelling isn’t just about memorizing words—it builds vocabulary, reading confidence, and attention to detail, all essential building blocks for young learners. This was no easy task, but each student challenged themselves, tried something new, and showed their Tiger Courage. 🐯💪 From cheering on their classmates to tackling tricky words under pressure, these students demonstrated the kind of focus and growth mindset we value every day in Chagrin Falls. We’re so proud of every participant for their determination and fearlessness. Congratulations to our winner, Stella, and runner-up, Emily! 🎉👏 You inspire us all! #ChagrinSchools #CFtogether #ChagrinTigers #ChagrinFalls #CreateConnectChallenge
