Help Us Help Them
The Cuyahoga Falls Schools Foundation & Alumni Association (CFSFAA) helped us build this website and put many hours in to helping us. Our committee individually signed up as members of the CFSFAA. You can thank the Cuyahoga Falls Schools Foundation & Alumni Association by doing the same! Any contribution over the $25 fee will help with Scholarships, possibly for one of your grandchildren! Our website will continuously be updated and you can always update your information as well. We saved a lot of money thanks to the Alumni Association! Visit their website at cfsfaa.org.
