🍪 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. Rockhill Ave. Alliance, Ohio 44601

Trooper Shonk also reminded students of important safety measures such as using a seatbelt and wearing a helmet when you ride a bike. Thank you Shonk Family! #RepthatA

Some of the 2nd graders at Alliance Elementary School learned about fire safety from a familiar face! 🔥 Alliance Firefighter Will Kinser, a 2019 graduate of Alliance High School, visited the classes of Crystal Haba, Amy Recchuiti, and Morgan Thomas to teach students about fire safety!

Will talked about the importance of smoke detectors, knowing your address, calling 911, and remembering to stop, drop, and roll. He also put on his full firefighting gear so students could see what he looks like while on the job and explained how each piece keeps him safe.

Thank you, Will, for sharing your time and expertise and for being such a great example of an Aviator being a caring citizen! ✈ #RepthatA

Kaley Sloane’s and Sam Young’s classes at Alliance Elementary School practiced trick-or-treating yesterday! 🍭 Superintendent Rob Gress read a fun story about how dinosaurs trick-or-treat before students traveled around the school, knocking on doors and practicing saying “trick-or-treat” and “thank you” as they received their goodies! 🎃

This fun activity helped students practice valuable communication skills while enjoying the Halloween spirit.
