Their artwork is now featured in a creativity showcase! If you’re visiting Miles Market, be sure to check out these student designs on display!

Some of our sixth grader recently visited Mr. Wise’s first grade class for a special reading of The Rainbow Fish followed by a colorful art project. This experience gave our sixth graders a chance to shine as peer leaders, while our first graders enjoyed learning alongside older students they look up to.

A big thank you to School Counselor Mrs. Schleup for bringing this partnership to life and creating such a meaningful learning moment for everyone involved. 🧡🖤✨

Fourth grade never smelled so good! 🧼

As part of their study of The Tiger Rising, students tried their hand at whittling soap, just like Rob, the main character. This favorite fun, hands-on activity is designed to help students connect more deeply with the story’s themes of friendship, belonging, and trust.

Lessons like this are a great example of how Chagrin teachers go beyond the page, helping students build lasting connections with literature and each other.

Our 6th graders are building smart digital habits through ongoing lessons and conversations. With Mrs. Klodor and their ELA teachers, they learned how AI works, its limitations, and created a class charter for responsible use.

With Mrs. Schluep, they discussed how to chat safely online (with permission!) by recognizing private information, circles of trust, and ways to respond when conversations feel uncomfortable.

Families can keep the conversation going at home with questions like:
✔️ How do you know if it's okay to use AI for an assignment?
✔️ Who are your trusted adults if something online makes you feel unsafe?

Back to gym class in 1993, do you remember breaking out the paddles for a game of pickleball in Mr. Wem’s class?

Who would have guessed gym class in Chagrin Falls would be so far ahead of its time!

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! 🌟
