Tuesday, November 30th, 2021—Syracuse Academy of Science Charter Schools is proud to, 'Say Yes’ to Education! Say Yes to Education Syracuse is a nonprofit community-wide partnership with the goal of every public school student not only graduating high school -- but doing so with the preparation and support to attain, afford and complete a college or other postsecondary education. This organization supports students and their families on the path to high school graduation — with a goal of their being prepared for a post-secondary education, and able to afford its expenses.

The Syracuse Academy of Science high school students had an opportunity to learn more about the Say Yes to Education program and which colleges would be funded through the program. Atoms also learned what makes them eligible to become a Say Yes member and how to complete the application process.

Tuesday, December 7th, 2021—As the Syracuse Academy of Science High School seniors prepare to start their college application process families had an opportunity to learn about the Financial Aid process from Le Moyne College's Director of Financial Aid.

During the presentation, families learned about the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or more commonly referred to at FAFSA. Many colleges and universities use the FAFSA form to determine the applicant's federal aid eligibility. Many states and colleges use FAFSA data to award their own aid, as well.

Wednesday, December 1st, 2021—Last week, Syracuse Academy of Science elementary school hosted its winter Scholastic Book Fair where families had an opportunity to peruse exclusive titles, new releases, discover value packs and so much more. Each purchase made at the Book Fair benefited Syracuse Academy of Science elementary school.

We would like to take this time to thank everyone who helped make this event possible, and the families who attended this event. Thank you for helping share and develop the love of reading with your Atoms!

Saturday, December 4th, 2021—On this ‘Giving Tuesday,’ we would like to shine the spotlight on a select group of students at Syracuse Academy of Science high school. These students are a part of the Congressional Awards Program and dedicate a portion of their weekend to help serve the greater Syracuse community.

Last weekend, Atoms put their love into action by lending a helping hand when visiting the Rescue Mission’s Thrifty Shopper store. Throughout the day, Atoms volunteered their time and service to assist wherever there was a need. Their volunteer hours work towards their community service goal as part of the Congressional Awards Program.

Keep up the great work, Atoms! You are making an incredible difference in the community.
