Friday, May 20th, 2022—Dancing, Fashion, Art, Music, International Cuisine, and more as Syracuse Academy of Science high school embraced cultures worldwide at its 2022 Cultural Fair.
Colorfully decorated with artwork from the Atoms, tri-fold boards from countries all around the world, and music filled the gymnasium as students proudly shared authentic cuisine that represented their countries' cultures and traditions.
Throughout the Cultural Fair, Atoms put on performances of dancing, singing, and music. Students sang songs in Spanish, performed a Bachata dance, and played the steel drums. No Culture Fair is complete without a fashion show, of course! Students showcased traditional clothing native to their countries' cultures and traditions.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this event possible and to the students who donated their time and talent to teach us about their families' cultures and traditions. We are many Atoms, One Family. Please click here to visit our Facebook page to view additional pictures from Syracuse Academy of Science high school's Cultural Fair event.

Wednesday, June 15th, 2022—It was a 'ball in' day at Syracuse Academy of Science elementary and middle school, as Syracuse Academy of Science high school alumni and Syracuse University basketball guard Syrmir Torrence visited his alma mater.
This basketball legend paid a visit to his former teachers, who have impacted his life. Symir also posed for pictures with the Atoms, signed autographs, and gave high-fives and fist bumps. The students were very excited to meet Symir!
It's always exciting when alumni Atoms visit their alma mater. We wish Symir the best of luck with his upcoming Senior year at Syracuse University. We look forward to seeing him dominate on the basketball court and lead the Orange to victory.
