As the seventh grade winners of the Chagrin Falls Middle School “Kindness Challenge” this past March, Christie Briggs’ homeroom class was able to choose a location to do a morning of service. They enjoyed helping the Chagrin Valley Chamber of Commerce collate newsletters and assemble goodie bags for the Village Arts Hop. Angie DeBernardo, a Chagrin parent and member of Chagrin Falls Village Council, took the students on a tour of the new trail loop the village is developing off Vincent Street. They saw the newly installed arboretum in honor of Ben King for his 40 years of devoted service to the Shade Tree Commission.
The new walking loop will go down from the arboretum, along the river to the Spillway bridge and then back up across the new Cleveland Street Walkway Bridge. They ended their morning by enjoying a lunch at Parkside Grill.
