Friday, April 19th, 2024: The incredible 6th-grade students at Syracuse Academy of Science embarked on a mission to positively impact our planet in honor of Earth Day! Armed with shovels, smiles, and enthusiasm, they rolled up their sleeves and got their hands dirty to plant five trees on the school campus thanks to a grant from the Central New York Community Foundation and CCE Onondaga's help.
With each dig into the ground, Atoms showed that they're not just learning about environmental stewardship—they're living it. They understand that small actions can make a big difference, and they're proving it by taking tangible steps to protect our planet for future generations.
As they worked together, 6th-grade scholars learned about trees' vital role in combating climate change, purifying the air we breathe, and providing habitat for countless wildlife species.
Through this hands-on experience, our students are planting trees and seeds of awareness, responsibility, and compassion. They demonstrate their commitment to being active stewards of the environment and shaping a brighter, greener future.
Happy Earth Day from Syracuse Academy of Science, where every day is an opportunity to nurture our planet and inspire positive change!

Saturday, April 6th, 2024: Fearless explorers from Syracuse Academy of Science Elementary tackled Baltimore Woods on Saturday, April 6th! The hike was a tad more challenging than their previous adventures, but that added to the thrill!
Atoms had a blast soaking in the sights and even made new amphibian friends—a live tree frog and turtle stole the show at the Nature Center!
The club can’t wait for their next escapade as they nurture that special bond with nature and stay zen. Bring on the fun and adventure!
