Monday, January 24th, 2022—Last week, Syracuse Academy of Science Charter Schools celebrated and participated in National School Choice Week! Atoms participated in various activities and events throughout the week, such as learning the official National School Choice Week Dance, reading the morning announcements, and writing activities all about why they love SAS. On Tuesday, the Elementary School Atoms had an opportunity to wear Yellow for School Choice Day.

For those not familiar with National School Choice Week, it is the process of allowing every family to choose the K-12 educational options that best fit their children. Every child is unique, and all children learn differently.

Throughout the week, we not only celebrate the students but the parents, teachers, and staff alike. We encourage prospective students and families to learn all about what Syracuse Academy of Science Charter Schools offers! There are many reasons families, teachers, and staff choose SAS.
