Even our kindergartners at Alliance Early Learning School are celebrating Start With Hello Week! 😊 Students in Tracy Bowser's class learned how to introduce themselves to someone new and ask questions. They practiced in their classroom and throughout the building, including introducing themselves to Shelli Grove's 1st grade class! 👋 #RepthatA

Flyer for the October #LikeAGirl event. The free program connects elementary and middle school girls with female Alliance High School mentors who are leaders in sports, clubs and academics, with the goal of empowering girls to see their full potential and build life skills. The event is Wednesday, October 1, 2026, from 6–7 pm at Alliance High School, Room 235. The October theme is “Adventure Awaits!” Guests from Troop 50 will discuss how Scouting is part of everyday life. Participants will rotate through interactive stations, some involving movement, and should wear comfortable clothing and gym shoes. A QR code is included for registration. Contact Mrs. McKnight at mcknightst@alliancecityschools.org for more information.
Students in Megan Harper's kindergarten class have been working on counting! As a fun end to the unit, students were given "recipe" cards to make "math soup." 🍲 They visited stations around the room to collect their "ingredients" (buttons, blocks, etc.). Then, they had to count out the correct number of each ingredient to put in their soup, according to their recipe. When finished, they exchanged bowls with a friend to check each other's work! 😃 What a great activity! #RepthatA

Assistant Superintendent Shawn Jackson was the first guest reader for Baeli Kimble's 1st grade class! 📚 He read them the story “There’s an Alligator Under My Bed.” At the end, the students had the opportunity to ask Mr. Jackson questions.

One student asked, “What is your favorite part of your job?” He responded with visiting classrooms and interacting with students of all ages! 😊 The class loved having Mr. Jackson visit so much, and the kids loved the story. #RepthatA

Crystal Gibbons' 1st grade class had their first guest reader of the year! 📚 Mariah Gibbons, Mrs. Gibbons' daughter, read "Skippy Jon Jones Lost in Space." 🚀 It was also her birthday, and the class made sure to give her her very own birthday crown and balloon! 🎈

Tracy Bowser's kindergartners read "Have You Filled a Bucket Today?" 📚 They sorted pictures with a friend into "bucket filler" or "bucket dipper," then practiced giving compliments and filling each other's buckets with coins. The students then wrote a message on the back of paper buckets and walked around the building giving them to staff to practice filling others' buckets. 🪣

What a great activity for our young Aviators! ✈️ #RepthatA

When our little kindergarten friend Charleigh was nervous to ride the bus by herself this morning, Mrs. G didn't give it another thought before jumping into action! 🚌 She met her and her mom at the bus stop and hopped on the bus with Charleigh and her sweet, little bear. 🧸

We are so proud of Charleigh for being a brave risk taker and riding the bus all the way to school with Mrs. G and her new friends! ☺️

Sometimes new experiences can be scary for our little Aviators, but we have amazing principals and staff members, like Mrs. G, who help to inspire our students to be courageous! ❤️✈🩵 #RepthatA #WinTheDay

Students in Connilyn Cross’ class enjoyed using Play-Doh to play a game of Race to 20 during center time! 🎲 Students took turns rolling a die to make marks in their Play-Doh ten frames. The first student in each group to get to 20 won the round. What a fun activity! 😊 #RepthatA
