On Saturday, September 24th, 2016, all three SAS buildings came together in the high school parking lot for a benefit to help two of our amazing families. The De La Cruz and Bonilla families were victims of a house fire weeks before that claimed most of their possessions. This team effort created a great event that involved a car wash, barbecue, bounce house, bake sale, and more! SAS families from all three buildings helped out and participated in the festivities. An event such as this represents the best qualities of the Syracuse Academy of Science. Students, parent, teachers, and administrators who are here for one common goal, the success of our students and families!
We would like to thank those who donated items, money, and gift cards. We also would like to thank those who volunteered and helped before, during, and after the event. We would not be able to make this day happen without your help.
Go ATOMS!

On Friday, September 9, 2016, SUNY Oswego College of Liberal Arts and Sciences hosted the Annual Summer Researchers Presentation to recognize summer graduate and undergraduate researchers at SUNY Oswego. From SASCS, four senior students, Jason Mompeller, Killiaun Blathe, Terry Hines and Kenyang Lual, presented their research at this exciting event to students and professors.
Jason and Killiuan worked on an advanced organic chemistry project, "Converting Aryl Halides in to Phenols By using Picolinicamide Derivatives as Ligands" and their project will be published this fall.
Terry and Kenyang worked on an environmental chemistry project. Their project "Determination of Iron and Manganese in Dried Vegetables by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy" was a very exciting project to identify the metal samples in vegetables.
