Wednesday, May 22, 2019—It's with great excitement and joy that we share SaQuota Reaves' book, "Wholeness can Come from Broken Pieces," was recently published. The book is about moving from living a life of hurt and pain to living a life full of freedom and peace. Readers go on a journey that explains the importance of sorting through one's life piece by piece until they reach their goal - wholeness. Using personal experiences to help the readers unpack their emotions while helping them move to a place where they can be authentically themselves. A book that challenges you in every way possible and to push you forward in your personal journey of divine healing.

SaQuota Reaves is the founder of Divine Healing, a mentorship and publishing company. She obtained degrees in African American Studies, Women's and Gender Studies and Special Education from Syracuse University and Grand Canyon University. 

It is teachers like SaQuota Reaves that we are able to build success, one Atom at a time. Congratulations on this major accomplishment!

Friday, May 31, 2019—A student activity club that is filled with ooey gooey goodness, and leaves you with a mouth watering feeling - the Baking Club. One of SASCS' newest student activity club is rising in popularity. Featured in Family Times: The Parenting Guide of Central New York as the Club of the Month. This club began out of student interest after a trip to the library to look at some cookbooks. The club is geared to expose students to different baking projects and have them learn new things in the kitchen. Atoms have mastered the art of baking delicious goodies such as: Chinese donuts, deep-fried Oreos, dessert egg rolls, cheesecakes, and more! Remember, if you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

Wednesday, May 15, 2019—Cuisine is an important aspect of any country's culture. It plays an integral role in centering traditions, heritage, memories and more. As part of our fifth grade Atom's project based learning class, they had the opportunity to research Mexico and learn about its culture and cuisine. Scholars created a cookbook and presentation with the region's facts and shared their findings with an esteemed panel. Atoms will have the opportunity to prepare delicious dishes based on the recipes in their cookbook.
