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

The 6th graders spent a day at Camp Carl last week where they took part in many great activities! 🏕️ Along with building connections and forming new friendships, they got to kayak, fish, enjoy a bonfire, play volleyball, zip line and more! 🛶
Some of the best school memories are made outside the classroom, and this was certainly a time to remember! #RepthatA

“AHS prepared me for my career through work-study and study hall.”
Favorite Memory from High School:
“My favorite memories from Alliance High School were mostly from American Sign Language (ASL) with Ms. Collins and Ms. Armstead! 🤟🏽”
Advice for Current AHS Students:
“Take notes, study when needed and DO NOT BE SCARED to ask questions. You’re talking to a straight-A student. Get involved in extracurricular activities, like National Honor Society. Stay out of trouble. These last four years of high school mean everything, and trust me, they do. Work hard and do your best in everything.”
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.”
An Accomplishment You Are Most Proud Of:
“I'm mostly proud of completing college as early as I am.”

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

Alliance City Schools has officially joined Kindland's initiative of completing 250 acts of kindness this school year!
Kindness can be simple: invite someone to play with you or sit with you, help a classmate, give someone a compliment, tell someone thank you for helping you, or offer an encouraging word. Small actions help people feel welcome, happy, valued and connected and can inspire others to be kind, too.
Throughout the year, students and staff will report their acts of kindness, and we will track them as a district until we reach our goal of 250!
Parents are able to report acts of kindness through Kindland's reporting form at https://www.usofkindness.org/share-an-act-of-kindness.
We are excited to see all the amazing acts of kindness our Aviators complete this year! Follow along as we help to spread kindness throughout our schools and community!

Tracy Bowser's kindergarten class had some science fun when they planted grass and bean seeds! 🌱 The students watered and measured their plants each week and even created a house to put behind the plants. They enjoyed watching the plants grow over time and comparing the two different kinds using descriptive words! Our budding botanists had so much fun with this project! 🪴 #RepthatA
