Tuesday, November 30th, 2021—Earlier this week, Syracuse Academy of Science elementary school recognized its November Students of the Month for demonstrating the character trait of Citizenship, and were always willing to help, and contribute in the classroom.

We would like to congratulate the students selected for November's Student of the Month ceremony! Keep up the great work and remember to tune in each month as we share, and celebrate the students selected for our monthly Student on the Month celebration. Each month, students will be recognized for their demonstration of that month's character trait. Keep up the great work, Atoms.

Friday, November 12th, 2021—At Syracuse Academy of Science Charter Schools we believe that college is for everyone! In fact, it's never too early to start talking to your Atoms about colleges, universities, and the variety of degrees and programs available.

In mid November, Syracuse Academy of Science elementary school hosted its own college week, where the teachers, faculty, and staff decorated their own pennant highlighting their alma mater, their school's mascot, and their degree.

We invite you to click here to watch their short video presentation for College Week!

Thursday, November 18th, 2021—Hold on to your hats, because the Syracuse Academy of Science 4th grade students in Ms. Gasparini's class embarked on a virtual educational field trip! On their virtual field trip, students set out to learn all about the Iroquois nations. For this, they virtually visited the Iroquois Museum, which was presented through the Albany Public Library. Atoms heard from speaker, Brenda LaForme who shared the history, and culture of the Iroquois nations.

Thank you, Iroquois Museum and Albany Public Library for taking the time to provide a virtual field trip for the Syracuse Academy of Science elementary school Atoms!
