Wednesday, December 1st, 2021—Last week, Syracuse Academy of Science elementary school hosted its winter Scholastic Book Fair where families had an opportunity to peruse exclusive titles, new releases, discover value packs and so much more. Each purchase made at the Book Fair benefited Syracuse Academy of Science elementary school.

We would like to take this time to thank everyone who helped make this event possible, and the families who attended this event. Thank you for helping share and develop the love of reading with your Atoms!

Saturday, December 4th, 2021—On this ‘Giving Tuesday,’ we would like to shine the spotlight on a select group of students at Syracuse Academy of Science high school. These students are a part of the Congressional Awards Program and dedicate a portion of their weekend to help serve the greater Syracuse community.

Last weekend, Atoms put their love into action by lending a helping hand when visiting the Rescue Mission’s Thrifty Shopper store. Throughout the day, Atoms volunteered their time and service to assist wherever there was a need. Their volunteer hours work towards their community service goal as part of the Congressional Awards Program.

Keep up the great work, Atoms! You are making an incredible difference in the community.

Friday, December 10th, 2021—Syracuse Academy of Science elementary school makes it a December to remember with their annual Door Decorating contest. This year, classrooms were tasked with coming up with their own theme and of course decorating their door. Let’s just say the creativity was ‘otter this world,’ and left you walking in a winter wonderland.

Congratulations to Ms. Figueroa's kindergarten class for being named the 2021 Door Decorating Contest winner, with their door theme of Learning in a Winter Wonderland.

Sunday, December 12th, 2021—Last weekend Mr. Yaman's Congressional Awards students headed out to the greater Syracuse community to not only lend a hand, but to ultimately make a difference (and an impact) this holiday season to over 200 families at the Blessing Box CNY Food Distribution event - a local organization aimed to help fight hunger.

During the event, Atoms helped sort various household items, non-perishable food items, personal hygiene products, hats and mittens into boxes and bags for those in need to pick up and take with them.

Thank you Atoms for helping make a difference in our community. Keep up the great work, and we look to continue hearing (and seeing) the ways you have made an impact in serving the greater Syracuse community.
