Alliance Intermediate School hosted a Gallery Walk on Wednesday to showcase the Black History Month Projects the students worked hard on! Every 4th grader at AIS spent time in their reading classes researching an individual of their choice. They selected athletes, musicians, artists, civil rights leaders and even local leaders who they were inspired by. The student wrote a report and presented about their person then created a poster board, cereal box or diorama with history, fun facts and information they learned. The students worked very hard on their projects and were excited to welcome community members and their families to see see the Black History Month Gallery! The guests were tasked with picking three projects and providing feedback for the students. All 4th graders also had the opportunity to peer review a project of their choice. What a wonderful project for our Aviators! Way to go, AIS 4th graders! 👏👏 #RepthatA

The Alliance Intermediate School Choir is learning the Chinese folksong, "Mō Lì Huā (Jasmine Flower)" for their spring performance on April 30. Charlie's mom, Mrs. Jia, and Joey's mom, Mrs. Antonosanti came to choir to teach us how to pronounce the Chinese lyrics of the song. They learned that this song is a very popular folksong that all children knew when they were growing up in China. Their special guests shared where they were from, what school was like for them, and other interesting things about China. They answered questions that student's had and it was such a lovely visit. Thank you so much for sharing your culture with our students! The AIS choir appreciates your help and kindness! #RepthatA
