Wednesday, November 2nd, 2022: Syracuse Academy of Science High Schoolers were seeing double! Day three of spirit week was twin day. Whether students dressed to look like their best friend, classmate, or teacher, we saw some very creative outfits!

Why are ghosts so bad at telling lies? Because you can see right through them! 

There weren’t many ghosts at Syracuse Academy of Science Elementary School’s Fall festival costume parade, but there were plenty of princesses! That’s because the theme of this year’s parade was Walt Disney with Disney characters! Staff, students, and even some parents dressed up in costumes for an outdoor parade around the playground, followed by some fall crafts and activities in classrooms. 

We hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween!

Friday, October 28th, 2022: Syracuse Academy of Science  Elementary School's character trait for October was Trustworthiness. To be trustworthy means to be reliable, keep promises, and do what you say you will do. Trustworthiness also means telling the truth and being honest with words and actions, even when it may be difficult.

Congratulations to Mrs. Eno, Ms. Pikowski, and all of our students of the month for being so Trustworthy!

Tuesday, November 1st, 2022: It’s #SpiritWeek here at Syracuse Academy of Science High School and these Atoms prove there is no “I” in team by showing support for their favorite sports team!

Day two of spirit week is Fandom day. These are just a few of the students sporting their favorite gear.

Monday, October 24th, 2022: Syracuse Academy of Science Second Grade Atoms celebrated the start of Diwali. 

Students practiced meditating,  made paper lanterns, and a Rangoli craft to celebrate this festival of lights. Diwali is a five-day religious festival and one of the most important festivals within Hinduism. 2nd Grade had just finished their Ancient Asian Civilizations unit, which lined up nicely with Diwali.

Monday, October 24th, 2022: “Family trees need strong branches and deep roots.” As part of our efforts to increase Culturally Responsive Teaching, Syracuse Academy of Science Elementary School will encourage families to participate in various Family Projects during the school year. Students and families were tasked with creating a Family Tree together in October. Where we come from and who encompasses our families are an important part of who we are, and a family tree project allows students to show off their backgrounds. These are just a small sample of some of the beautiful and thought-out family trees that came into school.

Thank you to all the parents, guardians, and family members that helped our scholars make this first Family Project a great success!

Monday, October 24th, 2022: Dean of Syracuse Academy of Science Elementary school Meghan Miller visited classroom 2-A for a read-aloud! Mrs. Miller is reading through the "There Was An Old Lady" series and started with "There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves." Students participated by reading their line: "perhaps she'll sneeze!" Thank you, Mrs. Miller, for reading with our second graders!

Monday, October 31st, 2022: It was just a bunch of hocus pocus in the halls of Syracuse Academy of Science. These high-schoolers had a spook-tacular time celebrating the first day of spirit week with a fall festival, proving you’re never too old to dress up for Halloween. 

We hope everyone has a safe and happy Halloween!

Friday, October 28th, 2022: Representatives from Micron visited Syracuse Academy of Science High School. Senior vice president and Chief People Officer April Arnzen, and Head of Social Impact for Micron Technology Robert Simmons spoke with a large group of our students about why Micron chose to build a facility in Clay and the type of job opportunities they offer. This was the first meeting Micron had with students in Central New York. There were even a couple of business cards passed out to students. 

Who knows, some atoms may be working for Micron in the future!

Thursday, October 27th, 2022: 3rd and 4th grade Syracuse Academy of Science Atoms had the once-in-a-lifetime experience of watching President Joe Biden’s convoy on their way up to Onondaga Community College! Students made signs and posters and waved as the cars drove by. The President traveled to Syracuse for Micron’s $100 billion investment in CNY.

Atoms were extremely lucky to witness this extraordinary moment in history!
