Tuesday, March 5th, 2024: Crazy, silly, frumpy, or frilly: Day 2 of Read Across America Week at Syracuse Academy of Science Elementary was Hat Day! Atoms and staff wore their favorite hats to school to celebrate their love of reading and Dr. Seuss's birthday.
Thursday, March 7th, 2024: As part of our Read Across America Week, Syracuse Academy of Science Elementary School students brought their best-stuffed buddies into school to read with! Reading to a stuffed friend helps students practice fluency and dictation and builds confidence. Atoms had a great time showing off their stuffies, and the stuffed friends also enjoyed their time at school for the day!
Sunday, March 3rd, 2024: The Syracuse Academy of Science robotics teams "SAS ATOMS" and "NEW WAVE" showcased their talent and dedication at the MVCC Regional First Tech Challenge (FTC) robotics tournament. These teams proudly represent SANY, demonstrating exceptional skills at the qualifying games and leaving a indelible mark on the competition.
Despite not advancing to the semi-finals, robotics members and coaches have dedicated countless hours to preparing their robots, committing their after-school and weekend hours to perfect them. Their participation in this tournament not only served as a testament to their hard work but also as a remarkable learning experience.
We are immensely proud of our robotics teams' accomplishments and how they represent our school. Their resilience, determination, and commitment to excellence inspire us all.
Congratulations, SAS ATOMS and NEW WAVE, on a job well done!
