On Monday, March 12, 2018 the 5th grade students of the SAS Middle School welcomed students from SUNY ESF. These students have been working with the science classes for weeks now and have now taken their involvement to another level. ESF Student Mr. Roney sets students up with an experiment to demonstrate the effects of weathering and erosion on our environment. Students loved the experience to work hands-on with these great future educators from SUNY ESF. #SASAtoms #SASCS

On Monday, March 5, 2018, students in the middle school participated in Read Across America to celebrate Dr. Seuss’ (belated) birthday! ELA classes began the day with a read aloud of The Lorax, discussion on the environment, and time to drop everything and read!

In the afternoon, students in each grade rotated among three different stations related to four Dr. Seuss books: Horton Hatches the Egg, The Cat in the Hat, Oh, the Places You’ll Go! and The Lorax. The stations included more reading and writing, STEM activities, and a video with activities about The Lorax. Students left for the day with a “truffula tree seed” in hand and a quote in their minds.

We would like to leave you with one of our favorite quotes that embodies what we hope for our students as they go out into the world, “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.” –The Lorax
