🍪 Help Miss Sloane's Class Catch the Gingerbread Man! 🍪

Kaley Sloane’s class at Alliance Elementary School needs your help to catch the Gingerbread Man! He’s on the loose again, traveling across the United States and maybe even around the world. 🌎

If you spot him in your area, send the class a postcard or letter telling them where he was and what he was up to. Let’s help our young Aviators track him down! 📫 #RepthatA

A playful, pastel-colored flyer decorated with gingerbread men and gingerbread houses along the top, sides, and bottom. The title reads “Help Us Catch the Gingerbread Man!” in bold brown text.  The flyer explains that Miss Sloane’s class will be reading many versions of The Gingerbread Man, and since the Gingerbread Man is always running away, students believe he might be traveling across the United States—or even the world. They are asking for help spotting him.  Instructions ask participants to mail a postcard or letter if they see the Gingerbread Man in their area and include:  The city, state, or country where he was seen.  What he was doing at the time.  The phrase: “He ran away saying ‘You can’t catch me, I’m the Gingerbread Man!’”  Postcards and letters should be sent to: Alliance Elementary School Miss Sloane’s Class 2400 S.

🥧 Pie Time at AES! 🥧

Several students at Alliance Elementary School had the chance to pie their principals, Lesli Waller and Taylor Logothetides, as part of a fun school incentive! While both principals took their pies like champs, Mr. Logothetides ended up being the most popular target, with most students choosing to pie him.

The students had an unforgettable time making a mess in the name of fun! ✈ #RepthatA

Alliance City Schools recently held the 3rd Annual Futures Fest! ✈ The event is an evening full of career exploration that supports the district’s vision of preparing all Aviators for Life, College, and Careers.

The event featured a job fair with more than 70 vendors, including employers, colleges, and branches of the military. Students, families, and community members were able to stop by to talk with vendors and gather information about future careers, schooling, and opportunities. The evening also included a career fashion show featuring middle school students.

Futures Fest offers activities each year for students in kindergarten through 12th grade. This year, elementary students read about possible careers and filled out activity sheets about what they want to be when they grow up. #RepthatA
