Megan Harper and Cindy Gaines’ classes celebrated Apple Day and so did Bailey Balderson’s class last week! Each class enjoyed a yummy apple tasting featuring red, green, and yellow apples. Yellow apples were voted the favorite by both classes! 🍏

Students also took part in fun crafts and activities, and enjoyed delicious apple snacks and homemade applesauce!

What a fun and tasty day for these awesome classes! ☺️ #RepthatA

✈ Kaitlyn Lambdin ✈
Position: 1st Grade Teacher
School: Alliance Early Learning School
Graduation Year: 2018
Years at ACS: 1

Favorite Memory:
"I truly had great memories all throughout my time at ACS, so it's hard to pick just one. One of my favorites was being in Mr. Green's social studies class with Maddie Waggoner and Madi Gasparik in middle school. We had the best time in his class and he always made learning fun."

Influential Staff Members:
"Mrs. Haba and Mr. Fontaine were influential in my years at ACS. I can remember getting off the bus for the first day of 1st grade and being carried off the bus to my classroom. Mrs. Haba let me sit on her lap for the morning and was always so kind. Mr. Fontaine was my band director from 6th to 12th grade and he always had a way to make band fun. He took the time to get to know each of his students no matter how many of us there were. Their kindness and dedication to their students made my time at ACS so memorable."

Choosing to work for ACS:
"I chose to come back and work for ACS because of the amazing, dedicated teachers I had growing up. It is one of the main reasons I became a teacher in the first place. The teachers I had were so supportive and thoughtful and I knew they would do anything for any one of their students. I wanted to come back and give that same experience to other children. I want for other kids to know that they have someone here to support and love them."

Importance of giving back:
"I want other children to have the same lasting impact that I had at ACS. To not only enjoy school, but to feel welcomed and loved everyday. When so many people have poured into you, it makes it that much easier to give back."

Once an Aviator, always an Aviator. Ms. Lambdin's journey shows how the care of great teachers can inspire the next generation to do the same. 🩵❤️ #RepthatA

Assistant Superintendent Shawn Jackson spent time reading to Baeli Kimble’s 1st grade class at Alliance Early Learning School! Moments like these remind us how powerful reading can be in helping grow young minds! Reading to children not only supports early literacy skills, but also encourages curiosity and builds confidence. The students love having guest readers and look forward to it every Friday! ✈ #RepthatA

Science is fun, especially when butterflies are involved! 🦋 The students in Tanya Cooler's class at Alliance Early Learning School raised butterflies through all their stages of life, and were thrilled when they had the opportunity to release them! Some of the butterflies didn't want to leave thier friends and stuck around for a while. 😊 #RepthatA

Tracy Bowser's Kindergarten class read several different versions of "The Little Red Hen!" They talked about setting and characters, and even acted out the story and became bakers! The students had so much fun making homemade bread and butter. 🍞😋 What a yummy activity for these amazing little Aviator bakers! #RepthatA
