Thursday October 6th, 2022: Twelve exceptional 4th graders were selected to share a special breakfast with our SANY Superintendent, Dr. Tolga Hayali. Students joined Dr. Hayali and Dean, Mrs. Miller, in the cafeteria for waffles, turkey bacon, fresh fruit, milk, and juice. Dr. Hayali and our 4th graders discussed why they were chosen to represent their grade, their goals for the future, and what they would change in our school if they were the principal. Students were excited to be selected, and Dr. Hayali enjoyed spending time with these Atoms.

Thursday, October 6th, 2022: 13 Syracuse Academy of Science High School students were honored at a ceremony as they received congressional awards. These students have been participating in The Congressional Awards program since October 2021. Every Saturday, Mr. Yaman and Mr. Turgay’s students set aside a portion of their day to work on their Congressional Award requirements. On top of the hours they spend on their personal development and physical fitness, they serve their community and earn community service hours by volunteering their time at the Thrifty Shopper store in East Syracuse.

These students visited multiple cities throughout their journeys, such as Boston, NYC, and Washington, DC. They camped in the Adirondacks, exploring their country by meeting the Congressional Award Expedition/Exploration requirement.

Hard work pays off, and we are so proud of our scholars for meeting their goals and receiving this high honor from the United States Congress. Congratulations, Atoms!

Friday, September 30th, 2022: All three kindergarten classes enjoyed their first walking field trip to Syracuse fire station 18. During the field trip, students learned about fire safety and how to keep each other and themselves safe from harm. While we were there, students enjoyed watching the firefighters come down the fire pole, suit up in their protective gear, and they even got to sit in the fire truck! Our Atoms had a great time and couldn’t wait to share what they learned with their families!

Thank you, Station 18, for taking the time to have us visit!

Friday September 30th, 2022: “A library card is a start of a lifelong adventure.” Ms. Fogarty’s second-grade class got the opportunity to explore the nearby library. Students and some parents walked to Betts Branch Library, where they learned about all the materials available at the local library. Students then read several books to one another and enjoyed read-alouds.
