Tuesday, December 22nd, 2020—On the cusp of winter recess, and all through the halls not a creature was stirring not even an Atom! The Syracuse Academy of Science elementary school teachers were busy at work creating a very special holiday message to all of their wonderful Atoms. Please click here to watch and listen to the holiday greetings from Syracuse Academy of Science elementary school teachers. We wish all of our students and their families a happy, healthy and safe winter recess.

Monday, December 14th, 2020—Earlier this month the Syracuse Academy of Science elementary school welcomed back its Monday/Tuesday hybrid students. To commemorate the moment, the Atoms flexed their creativity and muscles, socially distant of course, in their PE and Art classes. Way to go Atoms!

Tuesday, December 8th, 2020—Earlier this month, Syracuse Academy of Science collaborated with Onondaga Community College and OCM BOCES and provided a virtual adult education information session that provide an opportunity and resources for those who were looking to continue their education or looking to take classes that could help them in their career or future endeavors. We are excited to share that we had an incredible turnout with over 100 participants, which was much higher than what we had last year. At this time, we would like to thank all of you for making this virtual event possible!

If you were unable to attend the virtual adult education information sessions that were offered, that's okay! The sessions were recorded and you can watch and listen at your viewing pleasure.

Wednesday, December 9th, 2020—It seems like yesterday, that Syracuse Academy of Science Middle School held its science fair event. The Atoms eagerly conducted impressive experiments ranging from vaccines all the way to water filtrations (and everything in between). Little did we know at the time what 2020 would be like, and the awards and medals the students would receive for placing in the science fair were delayed. On Wednesday, December 9^th teachers Ms. Smith and Ms. Burke delivered the medals to the current middle school 2019 science fair participants. To refresh everyone's memories, below are the 2019 science fair winners. Congratulations to all of our students who participated.
