Monday, March 10th, 2023: We would like to give a huge shoutout to William Wristley for donating a 3D printer and equipment to Syracuse Academy of Science High School. We are so grateful for your generosity and can’t wait to utilize this with our robotics program! 

Friday, March 10th, 2023: Ms. Negron and Ms. Goyer's Kindergarten B class had a morning visit from the Science Academies of New York Superintendent Dr. Hayali. Dr. Hayali read the book "Skin Like Mine" by Latashia M. Perry to the students and discussed how everyone is different, and that's ok. It's important to love yourself for who you are. Dr. Hayali talked about his background, where he is from, and what he does as the superintendent of our school district. (It's more than just being a "super cool teacher" that "gives the kids cookies!" as some of our scholars stated!) Kindergarten B did a great job listening, raising their hands, and taking turns talking during the visit. 

Thank you, Dr. Hayali, for taking the time to read to our Atoms and chat with them!

Wednesday, March 29th, 2023: The Yavuz family joined Syracuse Academy of Science second graders in Ms. Peryea's class to teach them about Ramadan, the holy month in Islam. Ramadan is observed from March 22nd through April 20th by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community. The family shared some of the traditions they have in their house to celebrate Ramadan and the purpose behind them. Their son Mahir read "It's Ramadan, Curious George '' and answered questions from the class. Mrs. Yavuz prepared a beautiful lantern craft for students to complete. They also gave students a Ramadan coloring activity as a parting gift! 

We love to learn about other cultures and traditions, and we appreciate our student's family sharing their time with us!

Monday, March 6th, 2023: Syracuse Academy of Science 7C class channeled their inner artist for a clay project! Students chose either a project posted to their Google classroom or their own design. After problem-solving how they would create their art, they started sculpting with air-dry clay (along with traditional clay techniques such as slip and score, slabs, coils, etc.) to create various 3D art pieces.

Please see our Facebook post for more photos of the masterpieces.

Wednesday, March 29th, 2023: Syracuse Academy of Science Elementary School collected canned and dry foods to donate to St. Lucy's Food Pantry in March. St. Lucy's goal is for people in need to come to their food pantry and have the same selections they would be able to at the grocery store. Families and #SASAtoms showed generosity by bringing food items ranging from mac n cheese to canned fruits and vegetables to their favorite cereals! Atoms received a dress-down pass for participating, but the whole school felt the magic of giving to those in need.

Great job paying it forward, Atoms.

Wednesday, March 1st, 2023: College visits are important to our education at the Science Academies of New York. Syracuse Academy of Science High School students visited Utica University and were given a thorough campus tour, including academic and athletic facilities. Students ate lunch in the dining hall to top off the college experience. After lunch, scholars moved across the Mohawk River to SUNY Polytechnic Institute. After an information session, students experienced an in-depth view of another campus, including their tech and makerspaces.

Friday, March 3rd, 2023: Syracuse Academy of Science High School music students traveled to our state’s capital. Atoms were honored to perform in the capitol building, visited the SUNY Albany campus and music program, and attended a show before going out to dinner. Students also met with Syracuse Academy of Science alumni Illyn McLaurin and heard about her freshman experience. 

It was an excellent opportunity for our music students to explore Albany and get a taste of college life just a couple of months before graduation!
