Monday. March 27th, 2023: We love celebrating our student's accomplishments at Syracuse Academy of Science Elementary School. We especially enjoy it when a student runs to us excitedly to tell us about their latest achievement. So, Mrs. Miller created this wall outside her office: the "Mrs. Miller's Marvelous Minds" wall. Whenever students do something particularly outstanding in their classroom, they are sent to Mrs. Miller to sign their name on the wall for the whole school to see. 

Each week the number of names on the wall grows! We can't wait to watch it fill up this year.

Wednesday, March 29th, 2023: Syracuse Academy of Science Middle School had a surprise student teacher! 7th-grade student Mahir Yavuz quickly jumped in to help continue the ELA lesson when Mrs. Nickless's phone kept ringing. Mahir did a great job, and the students were so engaged that he was allowed to complete that part of the lesson on "theme." Look at all those hands in the air! Way to go, Mahir! 

Thursday, June 8th, 2023: Syracuse Academy of Science Middle School students enjoyed the fanciest lunch. These students worked hard throughout May, showing respect, responsibility, and safety in their classrooms and throughout the school building. It was amazing to celebrate their hard work and dedication to making the Middle School the best place to be!

Thursday, March 23rd, 2023: Take a PIZZA this! 1st grade served up a slice of fun in art class! These young Atoms practiced their cutting and gluing skills while making a pizza collage with toppings of their choosing.

Monday, March 20th, 2023: The Syracuse Academy of Science High School annual chess tournament champion was Halis Mutlu. There were also solid performances by Ather Shew (2nd place) and Meron Hailu (3rd place). Thank you to Ms. Coe, Ms. Mills, and everyone who attended and supported the chess club.

Congratulations to the winners! Hopefully, you’ve been practicing this summer for next year.

Thursday, March 16th, 2023: Families joined Syracuse Academy of Science for an evening of pirate-themed math fun! Students and their families began by figuring out their Pirate names. The night's object was to complete four math tasks in 4 classrooms. Upon completion of each lesson, Atoms received a piece of a map. When families finished all four, the completed map led to a secret treasure in the gym! Also, in the gym were more math games and visits with Bett's Branch Library and Empower Credit Union, who bought games and treats!

Friday, March 24th, 2023: Syracuse Academy of Science believes real-life experience is just as important as lessons in the classroom. Therefore, students are taken on several field trips every year. Kindergarteners stepped out of the school and into some fun at Little Ray's Nature Center. Little Ray’s is right inside Destiny Mall, and although their name may be "little," they are packing some big fun! Atoms saw and touched animals, from turtles, snakes, and other reptiles down to a tarantula! Some kindergarteners were even willing to hold the tarantula! Scholars had a great time learning about these animals. 

Monday, May 15th, 2023: Students and families gathered to celebrate the arts at Syracuse Academy of Science High School with our Spring Music Concert and Art Show. Students in choir and band performed a show-stopping concert with music in several different styles, featuring solos from students and small ensembles in addition to the full band. 9th through 12th graders showcased their artwork in 2D and 3D. Art students have created projects such as Art Nouveau, Realism, color theory, and many more. Students even created sculptures using the "Trompe-l'oeil," which means style to deceive or trick the eye. 

Everyone enjoyed a reception sponsored by Wegmans following the concert. What a tremendous year the arts had at SAS! We can't wait to see what the 2023-24 school year will bring!

Monday, March 6th, 2023: Syracuse Academy of Science Middle School Student Council members gave back to their school community with a library project! Council members began re-organizing the school library by genre so their peers could easily find books by their favorite themes and authors. We love to see our Atoms helping out their peers!

Thursday, April 13th, 2023: Syracuse Academy of Science Elementary School combined art and science for a vibrantly brilliant project. How? Kindergartens became color scientists for the day by using a pipet for water to see colors come alive.

Check out these Atoms hard at work.
