The Chagrin Falls Board of Education has approved the appointment of Ms. Eva O'Mara as interim principal of Gurney Elementary School. The decision was made during the Board's regular meeting on January 15. Ms. O'Mara will begin her transition into the role starting next week and officially assume her duties as interim principal on February 1, 2025. Having retired in 2019 from the Brecksville-Broadview Heights City School District, she taught at every level as an art teacher and finished her career as the principal of Highland Drive Elementary School. She had served as an assistant principal at the high school and middle school as well. While principal of Highland Drive Elementary, the school was named a U.S. Department of Education Blue Ribbon School. "We are fortunate to have someone of Ms. O'Mara's caliber joining our administrative team at Gurney Elementary for the remainder of this school year," said Superintendent Dr. Jennifer Penczarski. "Her extensive experience in elementary education and proven leadership skills make her an excellent choice to guide our school community through this transition period." During her expansive 48-year career in education, Ms. O'Mara has earned numerous accolades, including the Northeast Ohio Education Association's Educator of the Year Award and the PSO Friend of Education Award. Since her retirement, Ms. O'Mara has remained active in education, serving as an interim assistant principal in the Twinsburg City School District and supporting classroom instruction at Dodge Intermediate School. She also was asked back by the Brecksville-Broadview Heights School District to facilitate the transition of Highland Drive Elementary School students to a newly constructed elementary school building. "Education isn’t just my profession—it’s my passion. I’m thrilled to collaborate with such a talented staff and can’t wait to get to know the incredible students and families of Gurney Elementary,” said Ms. O’Mara. “My goal is to support the amazing work already in place while keeping the focus squarely on student growth and success during this time of transition.” Beyond her professional duties, she has demonstrated a strong commitment to community service through her involvement in various volunteer organizations, including the Yuletide Hunger initiative. She serves on the Brecksville-Broadview Heights Board of Education. Ms. O'Mara holds both bachelor's and master's degrees from Baldwin Wallace University and is credentialed in both the Ohio Teacher Evaluation System (OTES) and Ohio Principal Evaluation System (OPES), demonstrating her commitment to educational excellence and professional development. She also was named the 2016 Northeast Ohio Education Association’s Friend of Education. The district has already begun planning for long-term leadership at Gurney Elementary, initiating roundtable discussions with staff and families for the selection of a permanent principal to begin in the 2025-26 school year. Ms. O'Mara's appointment followed a thorough selection process that included input from a committee of Gurney teachers and administration.

To rent or buy? What type of streaming service should I choose? Credit cards? Charitable giving? Our 8th-grade students tackled these real-world decisions and more during our Financial Literacy Day! Students participated in a hands-on budgeting simulation, role-playing as 25-30-year-old sole income providers, balancing bills, salaries, and family expenses while making critical financial decisions. 💡 A big thank you to our incredible 8th-grade team for the planning and preparation behind this lesson, and to the amazing volunteers who made it all possible. 🧡🖤 #ChagrinSchools #CFtogether #ChagrinTigers #ChagrinFalls

This fall, our criminal justice students took a deep dive into the world of traffic stops, getting hands-on experience with real-world scenarios. 🚓 Officer Baldwin and Mr. Scott guided the class through the step-by-step process of a traffic stop, highlighting the responsibilities of officers and the rights of citizens. Special thanks to Mr. Mulheman for being a great sport during the activity—we’re happy to report he left class with no charges! ⚖️ #ChagrinSchools #CFtogether #ChagrinTigers #ChagrinFalls

Collaboration and meaningful connections? Yes, please! 🙌 Ms. Packard and Ms. Schluep partnered for a Guidance and Innovation project with a theme we can all appreciate: Building Your Dream Team. 🎨💡 CFIS 4th and 6th graders brought creativity and gratitude together as they crafted thank-you notes for someone special on their dream team. 🧡🖤 ✨ 4th graders designed custom stickers using Canva, which were printed in the Makerspace. ✨ 6th graders elevated the project with laser-cut cards they designed and then cut out on the Makerspace Glowforge. These projects are the perfect blend of thoughtfulness, creativity, and innovation! 🌟 #ChagrinSchools #CFtogether #ChagrinTigers #ChagrinFalls

Great Lakes Theater brought The Crucible to life for our high school English classes, offering a dynamic and reflective approach to this classic American drama. 🎭📚 Students worked through scenes, stepping into character with guidance from professional actors. As they explored each scene, they paused to reflect on the themes, character motivations, and historical context, deepening their understanding of the play’s powerful messages about fear, integrity, and community. This hands-on experience allowed students to connect the lessons of The Crucible to both the past and present, making literature truly come alive. What an incredible opportunity for our Tigers! 🐅✨ #ChagrinSchools #CFtogether #ChagrinTigers #ChagrinFalls

Great Lakes Theater spent an inspiring week with our third graders at Gurney, bringing favorite stories to life and sparking imaginations! 🎭✨ Students prepared sections of a reading and, with guidance from professional actors, stepped into the roles of characters to act out the stories. Afterward, they engaged in thoughtful discussions about the themes and lessons, reflecting on how the stories connect to their own lives. Through The Giving Tree, students explored the deeper meanings of generosity, love, and the joy of sharing with those who matter most. A truly unforgettable experience for our young readers! 📚🌳 #ChagrinSchools #CFtogether #ChagrinTigers #ChagrinFalls
