Thursday, November 16, 2023: Syracuse Academy of Science Middle School students enjoyed lunch with Superintendent Dr. Hayali. Students, both new to our district and some who have been here since Kindergarten, spoke with Dr. Hayali about everyday life in Middle School and gave suggestions on some things they would like to see in the future at our school. They also talked about their future aspirations. We have actors, entrepreneurs, and teachers in the making!

Congratulations, Atoms!

Thursday, November 16th, 2023: Families flooded Syracuse Academy of Science Elementary School for an Under the Sea-themed Literacy Night! Life was the bubbles as families and Atoms enjoyed games, prizes, scavenger hunts, books to buy, books to read, photo booths, and more! 

Families and students had a "whale-y" good time at our first evening event of the year!

You’re the gift that keeps on thanks-giving. While you prepare your Thanksgiving dinners, before the hustle and bustle of the holiday season sets in, we want to express our sincere gratitude to each of you. It's easy to get lost in the things we don't have. The fancy car, the clothes, the latest phone. Instead, try focusing on everything you do have. Ultimately, you will find it's a much greater list with a more significant impact.

This season, focus on the things you're thankful for, and the gratitude will follow. May your blessings be many, your troubles be few, and your Thanksgiving be wonderful.

Superintendent Dr. Hayali has prepared a special Thanksgiving message. Take a look.

Monday, November 13th, 2023: The Syracuse Academy of Science High School Atoms continue challenging each other to a game of Chess. As their skills get stronger, the game gets harder for Mr. Tabbara. Keep challenging each other, Atoms!

Tuesday, November 14th, 2023: Is that a fly on the wall? Nope! That’s Mr. Farnach. Since the students at Syracuse Academy of Science Middle School read 5,000 pages for the reading challenge,  Mr. Farnach volunteered to be duct-taped to the wall. More than 20 students helped to duct tape him to the wall. We even heard a 7th grader say, "This was worth doing the reading challenge!" 

Stay tuned, Mr. Farnach has more in the works because the students have recently surpassed 10,000 pages!
