Saturday, December 20th, 2025: The Syracuse Academy of Science and the Citizenship & Science Academy of Syracuse's Junior-Varsity and Varsity boys' basketball teams took the court against their fellow SANY school, Syracuse Academy of Science Charter School, in a competitive Atoms matchup.

Both levels of play highlighted what SANY athletics stands for—teamwork, discipline, effort, and sportsmanship. From strong communication on the court to mutual respect between teams, the games served as valuable learning experiences for our student-athletes.

These matchups continue to help our JV and Varsity players grow, build chemistry, and strengthen momentum as the season progresses. We are proud of how our scholars represented their school and the SANY community on and off the court.

Monday, November 24th, 2025: Syracuse Academy of Science Elementary School proudly recognized our Students of the Month for exemplifying the character trait of Citizenship throughout the month. These scholars consistently demonstrate what it means to contribute to a positive school environment and support their community. We commend their commitment to making our school a better place for all.

Friday, November 14th, 2025: Several Syracuse Academy of Science students were invited to have lunch with SANY Superintendent Dr. Hayali and Board President Dr. Zaim, Associate Professor of Management and Associate Dean at Alfred University. The students had the opportunity to have an open discussion with administrators. This special event gives our scholars the chance to voice their ideas, opinions, and perspectives on their education with leadership. 

Thank you, Dr. Zaim, for your time and partnership!

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2025: Syracuse Academy of Science fifth-grade students visited Baltimore Woods in Marcellus for an exciting hands-on science experience! 

During the trip, students learned about the different types of animals, including carnivores, omnivores, and herbivores. While exploring the nature trails, they investigated clues such as animal skulls and footprints to determine which creatures were predators and which were prey.

Through these activities, students gained a deeper understanding of the food chain while enjoying a day of hiking and outdoor exploration. It was an engaging and educational experience that brought science to life outside the classroom!

Thursday, October 16th, 2025: Miss Woodhams’ 6th graders had a fun and educational celebration of her birthday in class!

Students engaged in a variety of hands-on ELA activities, including:

• Writing plans for a surprise party with a focus on sensory details

• Completing a Mad Libs activity to practice parts of speech

• Playing charades to strengthen the concept of “showing rather than telling”

• Participating in a word association game to expand vocabulary

It was a creative and interactive way to combine celebration with learning, making the classroom a fun place to explore language and writing.

Thursday, October 23rd, 2025: What a fantastic night for the Syracuse Academy of Science Middle School community at Boo Bash!

 Students and families came together for an evening filled with costumes, trick-or-treating, photo booth fun, and Halloween excitement.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined the celebration, and to the volunteers, staff, and families who helped make the event a huge success. We loved seeing so many creative costumes and smiling faces throughout the night!

Thursday, October 9th, 2025: Families joined us at Syracuse Elementary School for Curriculum Night!

It was a wonderful evening celebrating our school community and strengthening the partnership between families and teachers.

Tuesday, October 21st, 2025: Syracuse Academy of Science High School juniors and seniors visited St. John Fisher University for a campus tour and college experience. During their visit, students had the opportunity to connect with SAS alumnus ZyKerra Carmichael, who is currently studying to become a teacher. ELA teacher Mrs. Greene also joined the trip as a chaperone. What a special experience for her, as St. John Fisher is her alma mater.

Tuesday, September 30th: Syracuse Academy of Science Elementary School proudly celebrated students who best demonstrated the character trait of Responsibility throughout the past month.

Responsibility means being dependable, making good choices, and taking accountability for one’s actions. A responsible citizen looks out for the well-being of others and recognizes that everyone has a role to play in making the world a better place.

These outstanding Atoms were recognized as Students of the Month and rewarded with a Student of the Month pin, a dress-down pass, and the honor of signing Mrs. Miller’s Marvelous Minds Wall.

Congratulations to all of our responsible Atoms for setting a positive example for their peers and living out the values that make our school community shine!
