Season's Greetings from SANY Schools - 2022
Dear Syracuse Academy of Science Charter School Community,
How is it already Holiday Break? It seems like we were welcoming students back on campus for the new school year just yesterday. The end of the year is a time for reflection and remembrance. We are thankful for where we came from and have a moment to think about where we are going as we pursue the future with hope.
Therefore, I want to take some time to reflect on everything we have accomplished together so far this year.
