Friday, November 12th, 2021—Kindness rocks, let's celebrate it, especially on World Kindness Day! In honor of this global day, the Syracuse Academy of Science elementary school students participated in activities from Character Strong, and learned about the importance of being kind to one another. The activities included writing how they can demonstrate kindness, sharing what they 'leaf' about someone. Keep up the great work, Atoms and happy World Kindness Day!

Wednesday, November 10th, 2021—In honor of Veterans Day, Syracuse Academy of Science Atoms in Ms. Bloss’ 2^nd grade class put their creativity to the test when expressing their gratitude to veterans in the greater Syracuse area. Students wrote special letters to veterans and shared what Veterans Day means to them, and colored pictures. These letters will be delivered to the Syracuse VA Medical Center. The student's creativity, hard work, kindness and generosity does not end there. In fact, they even put together a short video thanking veterans in all branches of the military for their service.

We invite you to click here to visit our Facebook page to view the video the Atoms in Ms. Bloss' class created. In addition, Syracuse Academy of Science Charter Schools would like to thank all those who have served in all branches of the military, and for those who continue to serve. We wish you a very happy Veterans Day!

Friday, October 22nd, 2021—On a brisk fall day, the 6^th grade Atoms at Syracuse Academy of Science middle school embarked on an urban safari field trip to the Rosamond Gifford Zoo.

During their visit, Atoms had an opportunity to see all creatures great and small. Students saw Rosamond Gifford Zoo’s newest animal Bjorn the Andean Bear, a family of Asian Elephants, Amur Tigers Zeya and Thimbu, Bactrian Camels Patrick and George, a variety of monkeys and of course the Humboldt Penguins. No zoo visit is ever complete without a group picture pretending to be penguins.

It's safe to say this was by far the ‘Best Day Ever!’ Thank you, Rosamond Gifford Zoo for a zoo-per experience, and a day we will always remember. Please click here to visit our Facebook page to view more pictures from the 6th Grade Atoms field trip to the Rosamond Gifford Zoo.

Thursday, October 28th, 2021— Late October, Syracuse Academy of Science high school students had an opportunity to visit the number 1 public university in New York State, the University at Buffalo. During their visit, students met up with SANY alumni Riley, Azamat, Brenden, and Karl who shared their experiences both inside and outside the classroom, and of course life as a University At Buffalo Bull.

Thank you Riley, Azamat, Brenden and Karl for taking time out of your schedules to share this incredible experience with current Atoms. We are all so proud of you and to see all excelling in your studies and thriving at the University at Buffalo. Many Atoms, one Family!
