Saturday, November 5th, 2022: The Syracuse Academy of Science robotics team attended the CNY Bridge building competition at the MOST. Eight teams from SAS joined in the competition and took home 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place in the high school division and 3rd place in middle school division.
Students had to design and construct a balsa wood bridge to measure efficiency; which is a measure of how many times its own weight the bridge can support before structural failure.
Congratulations to the following students in the senior division:
1st Place: Taha Hayali and Halis Mutlu
2nd Place: Samara Hurtado and Joshua Morales
3rd Place: Yakina Sika-Amoah and Grace O’Neill
4th Place: Andre McClain and Migual Mathis
Congratulations to the students in the junior division:
3rd Place: Lester Gonzales, Aamiran Ridha and Jok Jok.

It’s time to spotlight another amazing teacher at Syracuse Academy of Science Elementary! Meet Mrs. Tracy! She has been with SAS for seven years as a 3rd-grade teacher and has been a teacher since 2007! She went to college at the State University of New York at Oswego. Mrs. Tracy lives with her husband, three children, and a puppy named Bella. Mrs. Tracy is passionate about teaching and watching her students grow and learn new things daily. She enjoys boating with her family and is most inspired by her father.
Thank you, Mrs. Tracy, for being an integral part of the SAS Elementary School team!
November 3rd & 4th, 2022: Spirit week may be over for Syracuse Academy of Science atoms, but we can’t forget about the last two days! Day four was sweatpants day where students got to ditch their uniforms for comfy clothes! And the last day was college shirt day.
Thank you to everyone who participated in #spiritweek. We’re already looking forward to next year!
Saturday, October 29th, 2022: Mr. Stowe and Mr. Yaman took congressional award students to Ithaca, where they visited Ithaca Falls and Robert Truman State Park. Regular expeditions are just one part of what it takes to be a congressional award candidate on top of community service, physical fitness, and personal development.
It was a beautiful day for our students to work toward their goals and achieve success together.
Wednesday, November 2nd, 2022: Syracuse Academy of Science High Schoolers were seeing double! Day three of spirit week was twin day. Whether students dressed to look like their best friend, classmate, or teacher, we saw some very creative outfits!
Why are ghosts so bad at telling lies? Because you can see right through them!
There weren’t many ghosts at Syracuse Academy of Science Elementary School’s Fall festival costume parade, but there were plenty of princesses! That’s because the theme of this year’s parade was Walt Disney with Disney characters! Staff, students, and even some parents dressed up in costumes for an outdoor parade around the playground, followed by some fall crafts and activities in classrooms.
We hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween!
Friday, October 28th, 2022: Syracuse Academy of Science Elementary School's character trait for October was Trustworthiness. To be trustworthy means to be reliable, keep promises, and do what you say you will do. Trustworthiness also means telling the truth and being honest with words and actions, even when it may be difficult.
Congratulations to Mrs. Eno, Ms. Pikowski, and all of our students of the month for being so Trustworthy!
Tuesday, November 1st, 2022: It’s #SpiritWeek here at Syracuse Academy of Science High School and these Atoms prove there is no “I” in team by showing support for their favorite sports team!
Day two of spirit week is Fandom day. These are just a few of the students sporting their favorite gear.
Monday, October 24th, 2022: Syracuse Academy of Science Second Grade Atoms celebrated the start of Diwali.
Students practiced meditating, made paper lanterns, and a Rangoli craft to celebrate this festival of lights. Diwali is a five-day religious festival and one of the most important festivals within Hinduism. 2nd Grade had just finished their Ancient Asian Civilizations unit, which lined up nicely with Diwali.
Monday, October 24th, 2022: “Family trees need strong branches and deep roots.” As part of our efforts to increase Culturally Responsive Teaching, Syracuse Academy of Science Elementary School will encourage families to participate in various Family Projects during the school year. Students and families were tasked with creating a Family Tree together in October. Where we come from and who encompasses our families are an important part of who we are, and a family tree project allows students to show off their backgrounds. These are just a small sample of some of the beautiful and thought-out family trees that came into school.
Thank you to all the parents, guardians, and family members that helped our scholars make this first Family Project a great success!
