Wednesday, January 29, 2020—This January, students were celebrated for demonstrating the attribute of fairness. Students were chosen on their ability to show fairness to their peers and teachers. Most improved, citizenship and highest academics were also awarded to students. Teacher of the month recognition was given to Ms. Sasso and Mrs. Cusano who show fairness to everyone on a daily basis. In honor of National School Choice Week, one student per grade level was selected to read their writing piece about what they love about #SASCS. Great job, Atoms.

Friday, January 24, 2020—#SASCS Kindergarten classes took a trip to the Museum of Science & Technology - MOST where they were able to see just how big dinosaurs were before they went extinct. The classes interacted with the hands-on exhibits while working on their social skills, such as taking turns, working together and using their manners. Atoms also had a blast walking through the enormous heart and listening to the heartbeat, one student said: “it was great for meditating.” This was one of their favorite trips so far as they were able to be hands-on for most of the day. 

Tuesday, January 28, 2020—Our Elementary & Middle School #SASAtoms visited WonderWorks Destiny last week to break out of the classroom and explore the concepts they have been talking about in class, IRL. While Third Grade Atoms spent the day exploring the exhibits, Fifth Grade Atoms took to the Sky! Fifth Grade Atoms explored the museum and the ropes course to celebrate the end of the unit of study about scientists and inventors. Every student enjoyed the museum as they experimented like the innovators they had studied. Nearly every student tried the ropes course and several found it very challenging. Pulling together they cheered each other on when students became nervous or uncertain. Many students conquered their fears and realized that they can do hard things. Our #SASAtoms found lifelong lessons in this fun activity! Go Atoms! 

Thursday, January 23, 2020—The Middle School #PBL class visited the Boys and Girls club and the Sovereign Grace Baptist Church. Both 6th and 7th grade #PBL classes are working on projects this year to help benefit their community. 7th will be designing and building a little free library for the boys and girls club; which will be displayed in their common area. 6th grade with be designing a blessing box to help out the community by creating a small food pantry open to everyone in the community. Their blessing box will be outside of the Sovereign Grace Baptist Church. Way to go, Atoms! 

Wednesday, January 29, 2020—The Syracuse Academy of Science Middle School students put on a wonderful art exhibition full of lively colors and artistic talent. The students showcased their knowledge of The 7 Elements of Art, The 7 Principles of Design, Optical Art, and Grid Art. There was also a large collaboration created by the whole student body focusing on the Amazon Rainforest. The STEAM club had a mini-exhibition that displayed a global competition they are currently competing in, revolving around the theme, Endangered. The hard work and dedication put forth from our SAS atoms was easy to see and amazing to experience.
