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. 🧡🖤✨

The Gurney Service Learning Club visited Hamlet Village yesterday and connected generations through service and gratitude. Students heard from Chagrin Falls Air Force veteran Esther McElhinney, who shared her experiences and answered student questions. Residents then joined in to share their own stories of service. Together, they kicked off Wreaths Across America by coloring wreaths and writing heartfelt messages of thanks to local veterans. These will be delivered to the Stokes Veterans Hospital. ❤️🤍💙 #ChagrinSchools #CFtogether #ChagrinFalls #ChagrinTigers

It's been a great Halloween across the district! Here's a few more of our favorite memories as you head out for some trick or treating 🖤🧡🐯 stay safe and warm!

PJ Day + Flashlights = the Joy of Reading!

Mrs. Arcaro’s 2nd graders recently hit their reading stamina goal of 20 minutes of silent reading 🎉 To celebrate, they cozied up in PJs and grabbed flashlights for some extra-fun reading time. 📖🔦

When you mix books, pajamas, and a little glow, reading becomes pure magic. 💡📚

🧡🖤 Gurney Loves Grandparents! 🧡🖤
Today Gurney welcomed grandparents and special guests to connect with students through poems, conversations, and even a “Turn and Talk” — a strategy we use in ELA classrooms. The room was filled with big smiles and meaningful connections.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in making this day so special!

Homecoming 2000 👑 We spy a certain Teacher of the Year being interviewed for the local news back when she was Homecoming Queen. With HOCO in full swing, what are your favorite memories? 🐯🧡🖤 #ThrowbackThursday #ChagrinFalls #ChagrinSchools #CFtogether #ChagrinTigers

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! 👏
