Chelsea Young's class has been busy reflecting on what truly matters this season 🤍 Students brainstormed Christmas wishes that don’t cost a thing, sparking thoughtful conversations about gratitude, kindness, and the value of spending time with the people we love. A beautiful reminder that the best gifts are often the simplest ones. 🎄 #RepthatA




Sugarplum’s shenanigans have come to an end for the year! She sent students off on winter break with a reminder to always be kind to others and strive to be their best.
We hope Sugarplum McJingles returns to AES next year! ✨ #RepthatA

🥧 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
