Fall Break
Once a quarter, Alliance Preschool hosts a Family Engagement Day, giving students and families a chance to enjoy a fun shared experience! On Friday, they visited Maize Valley, where they took part in all kinds of fall activities. 🍏

What a wonderful day full of memories for our youngest Aviators and their families! 🍁 #RepthatA

The preschoolers were so excited to have their grandparents spend the day with them last week! They did fun crafts, got their faces painted, tasted red and green apples, visited the book fair and played at sensory tables. What a special day for our youngest Aviators! ✈ #RepthatA

Favorite Memory:
"The best part about attending Alliance City Schools for me was all the friendships she made while playing sports."

Influential Staff Member:
"The staff member that positively influenced me the most is Mrs. Balderson, my 2nd grade teacher. She always came into the classroom with a smile, positive attitude and loving demeanor."

Choosing to work for ACS:
"I am a product of Alliance City Schools. Once an Aviator ALWAYS an Aviator."

Importance of giving back:
"I have 4 children growing up through ACS in 6th, 5th, 3rd and 1st grade. Engaging with your community first hand addressing local needs, it helps with diverse perspectives and building a strong foundation."

From student-athlete to staff member and parent, Mrs. Lilley embodies what it means to be an Aviator Alum inspiring future generations. 🩵❤️ #RepthatA
