Wednesday, October 25th, 2023: A week has passed since Otto the Orange surprised Syracuse Academy of Science Elementary and invited us to join his Reading Challenge! You “Otto” believe our Atoms are already doing an outstanding job! Walls are filled with footballs, indicating all the books our students and classrooms have read. We are even getting pictures sent in from students reading their books at home. 

It's plain to see that SAS is super pumped to dominate this reading challenge!

Friday, October 20th, 2023: We’re continuing to pave the path to success for our Syracuse Academy of Science Atoms. A representative from Utica University visited campus to teach students about the college, the admissions process, and what majors and courses they offer.

College visits are a large part of the curriculum as a college preparatory school. Stay tuned for more visits from colleges!

Tuesday, October 17th, 2023: Syracuse Academy of Science Elementary Atoms received a special surprise when Otto visited! Otto came straight from the Syracuse University campus to tell our students about his fall reading kickoff. Teachers can read with their students, or students can read by themselves, with friends, or at home and keep track of how many books they’ve read. Each grade level has a different goal. Once that goal is met, the class will receive complimentary tickets to the Syracuse Orange V. Wake Forest football game, free bookmarks, and special recognition at the game!

Saturday, October 14th, 2023: Syracuse Academy of Science Middle School participated in the Steamboat Challenge at the Museum of Science & Technology. With hard work and commitment, the Proton Paddlers received 4th place. Congratulations to the winners, Liam, Solomon, and Jeremiah, and all the middle school participants!

Saturday, October 14th, 2023: Syracuse Academy of Science 4th graders got the chance to compete in the Steamboat Competition at the Museum of Science & Technology! Students used their creativity and recycled materials to build miniature working steamboats. Students were judged on their design process and how they worked as a team. We are very proud of their hard work!

Saturday, October 14th, 2023: The Syracuse Academy of Science High School Robotics team did it again! On Saturday, October 14th, the team attended the CNY Steamboat Challenge tournament at the Museum of Science & Technology. Nine teams and 18 students were challenged to construct a miniature working steamboat. Teams were judged based on fastest race time, boat design, knowledge of STEM principles, aesthetics/ creativity, and teamwork. Our Atoms crushed the competition, earning first, second, and third places in the high school division!!

Congratulations to the Syracuse Academy of Science Robotics Team! We are so proud of your hard work and dedication!

Friday, October 6th, 2023: 7th-grade Syracuse Academy of Science students took a trip to Big Don's Wild River Mini Golf for a competitive game of mini golf, laser tag and to find their way through the maze. Students were excited to get a break from the classroom and feel the fall air.

Friday, October 6th, 2023: October is Manufacturing Month, and what better way to celebrate than with a field trip! Several of our high school students had a chance to take a tour of Byrne Dairy Inc. Atoms experienced the process of how many of our favorite dairy products are made, and learned about the vast number of career opportunities that the dairy industry offers.

Friday, October 6th, 2023: What happens when you put a bunch of Syracuse Academy of Science Atoms together? Just like magic, each Atom supports one another to make something bigger and better. On Friday, October 6, the Atoms got together to support our fall athletic teams and celebrate being part of Many Atoms One Family! 

Thanks for your team spirit, and good luck this season, athletes!
