Friday, December 27th, 2024: This November, the New York State Art Teachers Association (NYSATA) hosted its annual conference and student exhibit art show, a prestigious event that highlights the incredible artistic talent of students across New York State.

We are thrilled to announce that Ms. AB, the art teacher at Syracuse Academy Science Elementary School, proudly showcased artwork from 22 of our amazing SAS Atoms! This remarkable achievement speaks volumes about the creativity and dedication of our young artists.

Each student whose artwork was chosen for the exhibit received a certificate. These certificates symbolize more than participation; they celebrate the imagination, effort, and passion these students pour into their art.

The SAS community is incredibly proud of these young creators. A special thank you goes to Ms. AB for her guidance and inspiration and to our students for their outstanding contributions.

Let’s give these young artists a big round of applause for their dedication and imagination. Stay tuned for more showcases of student talent and achievements.

Saturday, December 7th, 2024: The Syracuse Academy of Science Middle School STEAM Club has embraced hands-on learning and discovered new skills every Saturday at The Museum of Science & Technology (The MOST)! These sessions have been an exciting journey into the world of science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics, filled with creativity and innovation.

On Saturday, December 7th, the SAS Atoms explored the fascinating world of circuits. They successfully created one that played the "Happy Birthday" song and another that powered an LED light capable of changing colors. 

The STEAM Club participated in the Future Women in STEM event the following Saturday. The students had the incredible opportunity to learn about plastics from Tessy Manufacturing experts. They even created their own custom plastic keychains, gaining a deeper understanding of material science and manufacturing processes.

Keep up the fantastic work, STEAM Club—we can’t wait to see what you’ll accomplish next!

Wednesday, November 6th, 2024: At Syracuse Academy of Science Elementary, students in intervention with Mrs. Lokker and Mrs. Georgiadis are making remarkable strides in their reading skills. Every morning, these dedicated Atoms dive into the Lexia program, a research-based tool designed to build literacy and foster a love of reading.

Their hard work and perseverance are paying off! Many students have successfully advanced past their current levels, earned certificates celebrating their achievements, and are tackling new and exciting learning challenges.

We’re incredibly proud of these young learners for their determination and progress!

Tuesday, December 3rd, 2024: 10th-12th grade students from Syracuse Academy of Science embarked on an exciting field trip to SUNY Polytechnic Institute in Utica. This visit offered students a firsthand glimpse into the dynamic opportunities available at this prestigious institution.

During their time on campus, SAS Atoms connected with current SUNY Poly students, who shared valuable insights about campus life, academic programs, and student experiences. The tour provided an in-depth look at the innovative facilities, research opportunities, and career pathways that SUNY Poly has to offer.

The visit was an eye-opening experience for our students. It broadened their horizons and reinforced the importance of planning for their future academic and career journeys. At SAS, we are committed to preparing our students for success beyond high school by fostering college readiness and inspiring them to dream big. Field trips like these are a testament to our dedication to empowering students to achieve their goals.

We’re proud of our Atoms and can’t wait to see the bright futures they create!
