THANK YOU to:

We got off on a great start to our Staff Professional Development days at the Carver Event Center! Today was a blend of reflection, connection, learning, and celebration as our whole team came together to wrap up the year and look ahead.

Here are a few highlights from our fantastic day:

Honoring Our Roots: We heard from staff committees about all of the work they’ve accomplished this year. We dove into a meaningful discussion about homeschooling and how it truly is the foundation of Alliance. 📚

Escape Room Excitement: Mrs. Johnson planned a community-building escape room that brought out everyone's competitive—and creative—sides. There were lots of laughs, a bit of unexpected singing, and great teamwork! 🧠💡🔓

🥪 The Sunshine Committee provided a delicious lunch.

We acknowledged our dedicated staff members who reached their 5-year milestone with us this year. Thank you for your dedication: Mrs. Filippello, Mr. Lute, and Mrs. Birdsley! 🙌

Bittersweet Goodbyes: We said goodbye to two beloved staff members. We wish Mrs. Hespen all the best in her next chapter, and a very happy, well-deserved retirement to Mrs. Downing after all her dedicated years at Alliance. You will both be dearly missed! 💙

👏 A big thank you to Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Snyder for planning a day that balanced professional growth, collaboration, and fun!

Here's to another great day of learning tomorrow!

Our school year was filled with so much learning, fun, and creativity, and we still have some amazing moments to share this summer that didn't get the spotlight before!

These photos were taken during the very last week of school. Our students had a blast decorating the sidewalk, creating a vibrant, colorful welcome for everyone walking into the building. 🎨☀️

Stay tuned over the summer as we continue to share more favorite memories.

We officially celebrated the end of the school year with our annual trip to The Oaks Amusement Park! So much fun was had by everyone!

A huge thank you to all the students, staff, and families who made this year so memorable. Cheers to a safe, happy, and sun-filled summer break! ☀️🍦

📸 Throwback Thursday: Celebrating Our 2026 Graduates!

For this week's , we are taking a trip down memory lane! We wanted to share a special look at some of our 2026 graduates. 🎓

We, unfortunately, couldn’t track down photos for every single one of our seniors but all of the photos capture the amazing journey these students have taken to get to this milestone. Some of these photos are from recent months, while others go way back into the archives.

Take a look through the gallery, enjoy the memories, and join us in celebrating the wonderful people they’ve become!

Wow, we have had such a busy and exciting last month of school. May is keeping us on our toes!

So far this month, the Alliance community has already enjoyed two incredible field trips:
🐘 Oregon Zoo: Earlier this month, families met up for a fantastic day of fun, sunshine, and animal adventures.
💨 i-Fly Portland: Last week, Mrs. Pen’s Physical Science class took learning to new heights (literally!) with a trip to indoor skydiving. We were able to open up a few extra spots to the rest of our school community, too!

Both trips were an absolute blast. Thank you to everyone who came out, explored, and learned with us!
