Friday, May 20th, 2022—Dancing, Fashion, Art, Music, International Cuisine, and more as Syracuse Academy of Science high school embraced cultures worldwide at its 2022 Cultural Fair.

Colorfully decorated with artwork from the Atoms, tri-fold boards from countries all around the world, and music filled the gymnasium as students proudly shared authentic cuisine that represented their countries' cultures and traditions.

Throughout the Cultural Fair, Atoms put on performances of dancing, singing, and music. Students sang songs in Spanish, performed a Bachata dance, and played the steel drums. No Culture Fair is complete without a fashion show, of course! Students showcased traditional clothing native to their countries' cultures and traditions.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this event possible and to the students who donated their time and talent to teach us about their families' cultures and traditions. We are many Atoms, One Family. Please click here to visit our Facebook page to view additional pictures from Syracuse Academy of Science high school's Cultural Fair event.

Interview with J'Viona Baker

• What is one major accomplishment you had in your senior year of high school? Getting into colleges
• What are your goals for after high school? To continue my education in college and later become an OBGYN
• Name one person that inspires you? My mom (Javonia Baker)
• What advice would you give to the next senior class? Take advantage of the extra time you have to apply, look for schools, and make sure you take care of everything you need so your senior year will go smoothly. Don't slack and stay disciplined because it's easy to fall behind but even easier your senior year. 
• Where do you see yourself in five years? In five years, I see myself still in college.

• Name three traits that describe you? Honest, reliable, and independent.
• What is your favorite hobby? Working out & volunteering
• What is a hidden talent that no one or only a few people know about you? My friends think I can sing just very lowkey 
• What is your favorite memory of SAS? My favorite memory of SAS is participating in the culture fair with Naomi, Ermine, and Meenal. Every year we would dance, and it was just a fun/funny experience.

Wednesday, June 15th, 2022—It was a 'ball in' day at Syracuse Academy of Science elementary and middle school, as Syracuse Academy of Science high school alumni and Syracuse University basketball guard Syrmir Torrence visited his alma mater.

This basketball legend paid a visit to his former teachers, who have impacted his life. Symir also posed for pictures with the Atoms, signed autographs, and gave high-fives and fist bumps. The students were very excited to meet Symir!

It's always exciting when alumni Atoms visit their alma mater. We wish Symir the best of luck with his upcoming Senior year at Syracuse University. We look forward to seeing him dominate on the basketball court and lead the Orange to victory. 

We are many Atoms, One Family
