The students in Holly Smith’s class at Alliance Intermediate School have been very busy scientists! 🔬 They recently participated in an introduction to electrical circuits lab. Students experimented with creating complete circuits, adding more batteries to make the bulbs shine brighter and testing how battery size impacts brightness. 💡🔋

Way to go, scientists! 👏 #RepthatA

Ja’Cobi Lilley, a 5th grader at AIS, wanted to learn how to 3D print using the printer available at his school! 🖨️ He was so interested that he took the time to research 3D printing at home and teach himself how to use the technology.

He started small, but once he got the hang of it, he began printing larger items. One of his projects was a 3D-printed gecko! 🦎 Now, students across the building are curious about 3D printing and excited to learn how it works.

He has been working alongside classmates Emma Foraker, Harper Bartchy, Haley Bates and Adalynn Staggers, who choose to spend their recess time learning and helping with the machines.

Ja’Cobi hopes to become an engineer one day, and his creativity and determination are helping him build skills that will support that goal. ⚙️

And to think, it all started with a little curiosity and the initiative to learn something new! Way to go, Ja’Cobi! ✈ #RepthatA

Stay safe, Aviators! #RepthatA

Hello again Aviators, With weather and overall conditions continuing to pose safety concerns, Alliance City Schools will be closed again tomorrow, Jan. 29. The cold temperatures, along with sidewalks and bus stops that remain buried under snow, are the main factors in our decision to close for one more day. We are hopeful to return to school on Friday, but forecasts seem to be changing by the minute now, so it’s hard to predict at the moment.  If we are able to return on Friday, we know that some conditions will still be challenging. If you are able, we encourage families to begin planning and preparing by ensuring your child has a safe path to bus stops and is dressed in weather-appropriate clothing to stay warm during their morning commute. We will let you know by tomorrow at 3 pm whether or not we will be in school on Friday. As always, if you have weather-related concerns about your child attending school, you may call them off by calling the main office of their school. Athletic updates Tonight’s (Jan. 28)  middle school boys and girls basketball games have been cancelled Tonight's (Jan. 28) varsity girls basketball game at Marlington has been cancelled, the game will be made up on Monday, Feb. 9 Tomorrow's (Jan. 29) middle school and Varsity girls and boys wrestling dual with Minerva has been cancelled and will be rescheduled for Thursday, Feb. 12 Tomorrow's (Jan. 29) swim meet at Massillon is canceled with rescheduled date TBD Practices are only permitted for winter varsity sports and various pre-arranged music/arts/drama programs. Coaches/advisors will communicate with students and families. Again, thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate these decisions. We have a lot of winter left, so keep your hats and gloves nearby!  Rob Gress Superintendent of Schools

The students in Jaime Brown’s class at Alliance Intermediate School took part in a Storymaker video contest before Thanksgiving! Students from across the country created 30–60 second videos using Storymaker, a software program that encourages creativity through storytelling. Students chose from a variety of Thanksgiving-related prompts and worked in small groups to create their videos.

The group consisting of Elisa Kern, Dallas Hollis, Lennon Davis, and Reese Sedei won the award for “Most Heartfelt Video” with their submission about Thanksgiving at Grandma’s house. We are so proud of these awesome Aviators! ✈

Two women smile while holding a framed certificate in front of an Alliance Aviator logo on a wall. The certificate reads “Hometown Hero of the Month” and recognizes Ashley Peterson. The women stand side by side, each holding one side of the frame.
A handwritten note addressed to Ashley thanks her for her dedication to students in Alliance City Schools. The message shares that a parent nominated her, saying their child would not be the exceptional student they are today without her.
