Interview with Mrs. Coe

• What three traits define you? Creative, Giving, Devoted

• What is one thing you cannot resist?(food/dessert/candy/etc.) A good book.
• If you could have dinner with one person living or dead who would they be and why? My parents, I miss spending time with them like I did when I was younger (alive). Jesus, so I could ask questions.
• What advice would you give to kids who are struggling at school? Ask questions, reach out to your teachers, we are here even if you just want to chat about non-school stuff.
• Tell us, what is something that might surprise us about you? I like hunting, fishing, playing golf, kayaking, ropes courses, and even putting puzzles together.

Tuesday, May 25th, 2021—Over the last month, Syracuse Academy of Science elementary school students in the Green Thumb Club have been learning all about plants. From their importance in our lives, to how they grow, to even what they are used for, the students have been able to see all their hard work come through fruition. With the cold weather days hopefully behind us, the Atoms took the plants they grew from seeds and successfully transplanted them into the garden. Way to grow, Atoms!

Thursday, May 27th, 2021—Syracuse Academy of Science high school choral collaborated with Syracuse University to perform a very moving a cappella arrangement. Over the months of April and May, Atoms learned the song, Khalid’s ‘Talk,’ an a cappella arrangement by Syracuse University student, Emery Schramm, in person and over Zoom with choir teachers Ms. Carlson and Mr. Schramm. With months of hard work, dedication and persistence, we are excited to share and release their virtual performance. Click here to watch Syracuse Academy of Science high school choir’s performance of Khalid’s ‘Talk.’

Thursday, May 20th, 2021—It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood and the Syracuse Academy of Science elementary school students in grades 1st and 2nd enjoyed some fun in the sun during their outdoor recess. The first grade Atoms were busy at work trying to see how big of a bubble they could blow, as well as, how many they could pop! Meanwhile, the second grade Atoms tried their luck at finding the ever popular 4-leaf clover! We hope their search was successful and they were able to find a 4-leaf clover to have and keep as a lucky charm.
