Need extra help? Need to make up missing work?
Marvel Academy is from 9:00 – 11:00 AM in the Alliance Innovation Lounge. Marvel Academy is a place for students to come and work on academic areas of concern, to prepare for tests and quizzes, and to have a quiet place to study. Peer tutors are available to assist students in all content areas most weeks. Teachers are available for core subjects and can work with students one on one or in small groups each session. Students are responsible to tell teachers if you will need assignments to work on prior to the Friday before the Academy session. You do not have to stay for the entire time.

DECA and Hospitality Corsage and Boutonniere Sale!
The first annual Winter Ball is quickly approaching. With 2 weeks until the event, the DECA Chapter and Hospitality class are making and selling white rose corsages and boutonnieres! Prices are ($15) for individual corsages, and ($10) for boutonnieres. Students will be able to place orders at school, before school, at the front entrance of the school and can pay with card, cash or checks made out to Alliance Academy or AAI.
The orders must be placed between February 10-20. The flowers can be picked up the morning of the dance in the drive through car line, or sent home at the end of the day with students on their way to the busses from the cafeteria.
We can’t wait to see everyone at the dance!

Business Partner Spotlight
We are proud to be a part of such a generous community where businesses often recognize the importance of quality educational opportunities. Reid and Reid Contractors recently donated a golf cart to Alliance Academy, affording us the means to maximize plans of safety in and around the multi-level parking deck and school grounds. We are truly grateful for their contribution to our educators, administrators and inevitably to our students.
When partnering with local businesses like Reid and Reid, they become a huge part of our overall success!
