On Wednesday, April 5th, 2017, The NED Show visited the Syracuse Academy of Science Middle School. This organization brings a positive message to all students through acrobatic yo-yo demonstrations. NED stands for Never give up, Encourage others, and Do your best! The NED Show brought us a world class performer who brought a fun, engaging, and entertaining show to our students and left them with a positive message that they will continue to remember for years to come! Our students highly enjoyed this event as it was a great way to start the last quarter of the school year!
