Students in Conni Cross’ 1st grade classroom learned how to make Spooky Soup 🍲 just in time for the fall season! 👻 The week-long writing project started with a read-aloud of the story “Spooky Soup,” and afterward, the class worked together to add spooky items to their class soup.
After this, students were challenged to make their own recipe for Spooky Soup using three spooky ingredients of their choice. Students completed two days of revising before writing their final pieces. Finally, students added to their writing by completing a spooky craft of a bubbling cauldron to pair with their Spooky Soup writing!
How fun! #RepthatA

Even Superintendent Rob Gress knows the best haircuts happen at AHS! 💈
Emily Moore is a senior at Marlington High School who attends the AHS Cosmetology program as part of the Alliance City Career Tech Planning District. She used her skills as a soon-to-be licensed cosmetologist to give Mr. Gress an excellent haircut, his first one from the Cosmetology class. Emily did such a good job that he's already planning his next trip to the salon!
If you would like to book an appointment with Emily or one of our other amazing Cosmetology students, you can do so by calling 330.829.2251.
Who's going to be next? We think it should be Mr. Farrell, Mr. Swisher, Mr. Fontaine or Mr. Jackson! ✂️ #RepthatA



Paula Oesch and LaToya Gispert, 4th grade teachers at Alliance Intermediate School, spent their Teacher Day on Monday at the Ohio Council for the Social Studies annual conference in Columbus! 📚 They partnered with UMU education professor Mary Beth Henning to present "Native American Children’s Literature with Primary Sources and Augmented Reality." The presentation also included four UMU pre-student teachers, including 2023 AHS alum Gracie Weaver, who worked with the 4th grade classes last year.
Having our staff share their expertise and knowledge with other educators is an incredible opportunity! Great job, Mrs. Oesch and Mrs. Gispert! 👏 #RepthatA

31 sophomores from Alliance High School had the opportunity to explore their future career paths through a partnership with juniors in the Multicultural Education class at the University of Mount Union!
The UMU students served as mentors over the past couple of months, helping our Aviators think about and plan for their futures after graduation. The students and mentors first met in the AHS auditorium and continued working with together as they completed their projects. The experience culminated in presentations given yesterday to faculty at UMU.
The AHS students took the OhioMeansJobs aptitude test to explore possible career paths. Their mentors then helped them research careers they were interested in and what steps they would need to take to pursue them.
The partnership will continue later this year when the students take part in a field trip to explore job opportunities at local businesses in Alliance.
We want to thank the UMU Education Department for this fantastic partnership! Not only is this a wonderful opportunity for our Aviators to explore their futures, but it also provides valuable experience for the future educators who served as their mentors. #RepthatA

Influential Staff Member:
“Mrs. Wright, before she passed, was a big influence on me. I want to say 7th and 8th grades were when I began to master math, but in 9th grade, she truly helped everyone and took the time to mentor us through each question. She taught me how to take good notes. I do believe she is the reason why I got such good grades and understood a lot. After she passed, I knew what to do. I knew how to do it and get each question correct because of how she taught us to take notes. I cannot stress it more: take notes.”

Students in Crystal Gibbons' 1st grade class completed a unit on how their bodies move! 🦴 They read nonfiction texts and learned how diagrams provide important information by labeling different body parts.
To put their learning into action, students created their own skeletons and labeled the various body parts. They practiced stretching their learning by sounding out words, tapping each sound on their arms or fingers, and writing those sounds on their labels. The students did a wonderful job combining science, reading and writing while learning about the human body! 📚✏️
Great job, Aviators! #RepthatA

Superintendent Rob Gress has created a group for ACS staff members who are interested in becoming administrators in the future. The group, called the Alliance Aviator Aspiring Administrators Academy (5A for short), will spend the next year meeting about once a month and exploring the various facets of administration.
Participants will have the opportunity to shadow building and district administrators, participate in leadership meetings, work through real-world administrative situations and learn about different areas of district operations.
What a great opportunity to build future administrators from within our own district! ✈ #RepthatA
