Bigs in Blue is a one-to-one mentoring program that connects youth with police in communities throughout our nation, building strong, trusting, lasting relationships. These relationships can help children develop into confident adults and help build stronger bonds between law enforcement and the families they serve. Bigs in Blue is a part of Big Brothers/Big Sisters.
Help our 8th graders go to Washington, DC in May by enjoying dinner at Chipotle in Niles. You can dine in or take out, you can go by yourself or take your family and friends. When you go to the cash register, just tell them that you are there for McGuffey and Chipotle will take care of the rest!
On November 27, 2017 eighteen students from third grade through 8th grade were taken by Limousine to Ponderosa for lunch. These students earned lunch by selling the most items of all the students at McGuffey from our fundraiser! Congratulations to all.
Students of McGuffey were asked to write essays telling what Christmas meant to them. Our own Suzan, who is an 8th grader was chosen from McGuffey. Suzan received a certificate, rode in a carriage during the Christmas parade on Friday, December 2, 2017. Suzan also had dinner in the Mayor’s office, received a hat, scarf and gloves embroidered with “Spirit of Christmas” and lit the Christmas tree in the square with Mayor Franklin. Well done Suzan!
Six of McGuffey’s students competed in the Trumbull County Challenge 24 Tournament; Kasey Benson, Max Burns, Jaylan Brown, Suzan Hunt, Chase Leonard and John Waldman.

Congratulations to everyone!
Our Veterans Day Program was held on Friday, November 10, 2017. Students in 7th and 8th Grades were able to invite family members to who served in our Armed Forces or who are currently serving, to our program to be honored. We were very honored that so many Veterans came to be applauded. McGuffey is equally honored to have staff members who are Veterans; Mrs. Ryser, Mr. Reppart, Mrs. Nielson and Mr. Blair.
Thank you to our choir for your lovely performance.
