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! ✈

Kim Cody’s and Melanie Dubaj’s classes at Alliance Intermediate School combined for a Fun Friday turkey craft 🦃 before fall break and the read-aloud A Plump and Perky Turkey by Teresa Bateman. They also watched A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving 🍂 and enjoyed the same snack the Peanuts Gang had in the show — toast, popcorn, pretzels, and jelly beans! 🍿 How fun! #RepthatA

✈ Myra (Hopkins) Zink ✈
Position: Health Aide
School: Alliance Intermediate School
Graduation Year: 1967
Years at ACS: 10
Favorite Memory:
"Marching in the Orange Bowl Parade in front of the Flipper Float playing the theme song. I played the Clarinet. Thanks to Merrick Lewis, a well known Industrialist in Alliance and the president of Alliance Machine Company. He paid for our week-long trip to Florida where we marched in the parade."
Influential Staff Member:
"John Weitzel, the Band Director of the nationally known Alliance High School Marching Band. He is a GOAT (The Greatest of All Times). I learned about hard work, dedication and 'ONE MORE TIME' was his favorite phrase! He taught us lifelong lessons to live by."
Choosing to work for ACS:
"I retired from Summa Health Systems/Akron City Hospital in 2014 after 43 years of service as a Med-Sug RN. My neighbor Lori Gasparik asked me if I would be interested in a part-time job working for ACS as a Health Aide. And here I am starting my eleventh year. I love AIS staff and my students. They are like part of my family. I have learned so much and met so many wonderful people. I feel blessed for having the opportunity to give back to my community."
Importance of giving back:
"To be a good role model. If I can have a positive impact on just one of my students' lives it is worth it. How rewarding to give back to my alma mater by working as a nurse/health aide, which is the career path I chose following my graduation in 1967. I have been an RN for 54 years."
Ms. Zink’s compassion and commitment remind us how powerful it is when Aviators return to serve the next generation.🩵❤️ #RepthatA

🟢 SLIME TIME 🟢
Fourteen brave staff members at Alliance Intermediate School signed up to be slimed! Students bought tickets for a chance to dump a bucket of thick green goop on one of their teachers or staff members. Once their name was drawn, the student stood in front of their chosen victim… oops, we mean staff member! 😉
Five unlucky staff members were slimed: Jason Morgan, Katie Schlemmer, Paula Oesch, Tyler Triner, and Justin Kinder, who took not one but two buckets of slime!
Way to go, AIS! #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.
