Since the students at Syracuse Academy of Science Middle School read 5,000 pages for the reading challenge, Mr. Farnach volunteered to be duct-taped to the wall. More than 20 students helped to duct tape him to the wall. We even heard a 7th grader say, "This was worth doing the reading challenge!"
Stay tuned, Mr. Farnach has more in the works because the students have recently surpassed 10,000 pages!

Wednesday, November 8th, 2023: Everyday is STEM Day at Syracuse Academy of Science, but we’re honoring National STEM Day today. Let's celebrate the exciting world of science, technology, engineering, and math! As most of you know, STEM is an important part of our education at Syracuse Academy of Science. From powering our technology to inspiring new ways of thinking, students who learn essential STEM skills have the potential to revolutionize our society.
On National STEM Day, honors Chemistry students conducted the flame test during lab. The flame test is used to visually determine the identity of an unknown substance based on the color the flame turns on the Bunsen burner.
