Friday, March 22nd, 2024: We are thrilled to announce that our dedicated team of students clinched first place at the Syracuse Academy of Science Middle School MathCounts Competition! 

These young mathematicians showcased exceptional problem-solving skills, resilience, and teamwork. MathCounts Competition is not just about crunching numbers; it's about critical thinking, strategy, and mastering mathematical concepts.

A big shoutout to our amazing students for their outstanding performance and for representing our school with honor and excellence.

Friday, March 22nd, 2024: Seventh-grade Syracuse Academy of Science Middle School students recently enjoyed some friendly competition during a field trip to The Ultimate Goal in Marcellus! Atoms were split into groups that rotated between soccer, dodgeball, kickball, European handball, and capture the flag. Students demonstrated sportsmanship and teamwork!

Thursday, April 11th, 2024: Did you know National Teach Children to Save Day was on April 25th? Since Syracuse Academy of Science Elementary School was on Spring Break, the school celebrated with Dollar Dog Day on Thursday, April 11th. Julie Murad-Caruso from Empower and Dollar Dog spoke with second graders about saving, spending, and sharing money! Scholars were active participants in the discussion, stating that we save money to buy a house and that we can share money by giving to people in need!

Dollar Dog stuck around for some pictures and to give a water bottle to every 2nd grader. Thanks, Empower, for stopping by!

Thursday, March 21st, 2024: Syracuse Academy of Science second graders recently welcomed two women from SKS Orthodontics. SKS Orthodontics is an orthodontist office in North Syracuse. They spoke with our Atoms about caring for our teeth. They used a giant mouth display to show how to care for our teeth properly.

2nd-graders enjoyed the presentation and learned some helpful ways to care for their oral health! We were excited to be able to display another example of extraordinary women from the community.

Friday, April 12th, 2024: Ninth and tenth-grade Syracuse Academy of Science Atoms busted out their snazziest attire, cranked up the tunes, and threw down for the gala on Friday, April 12th! It was a night packed with laughter, good vibes, and unforgettable memories.

Wednesday, April 17th, 2024: Ms. Tammy from Chartwells stopped by Syracuse Academy of Science Elementary School for a Nutrition Education lesson with Kindergarten! This was extra exciting for our Atoms as it was their first experience in the cafeteria! Ms. Tammy whipped up some tasty strawberry banana smoothies, and the students each got to sample one. One Kindergartener said it tasted like "fireworks in a cup!"

Thanks to Ms. Tammy and Chartwells for taking the time to treat our students and teach them about healthy living! 

Saturday, April 13th, 2024: The Syracuse Academy of Science Middle School Steam Club happily spent another Saturday at the Museum of Science & Technology for the Future Women in STEM event. This month, the girls built their own magazine/folder holder with the help of Merit Alliance.

Excellent job, Atoms!

Friday, April 19th, 2024: The incredible 6th-grade students at Syracuse Academy of Science embarked on a mission to positively impact our planet in honor of Earth Day! Armed with shovels, smiles, and enthusiasm, they rolled up their sleeves and got their hands dirty to plant five trees on the school campus thanks to a grant from the Central New York Community Foundation and CCE Onondaga's help. 

With each dig into the ground, Atoms showed that they're not just learning about environmental stewardship—they're living it. They understand that small actions can make a big difference, and they're proving it by taking tangible steps to protect our planet for future generations.

As they worked together, 6th-grade scholars learned about trees' vital role in combating climate change, purifying the air we breathe, and providing habitat for countless wildlife species. 

Through this hands-on experience, our students are planting trees and seeds of awareness, responsibility, and compassion. They demonstrate their commitment to being active stewards of the environment and shaping a brighter, greener future.

Happy Earth Day from Syracuse Academy of Science, where every day is an opportunity to nurture our planet and inspire positive change!

Sunday, April 7th, 2024: We're thrilled to share the stellar achievements of our Syracuse Academy of Science High School students at the CNY Science and Engineering Fair hosted at the MOST!  Joined by our dedicated educators, Mrs. Coe, Mr. Maurer, and Dr. Ay, our young scientists showcased their brilliance.

Huge shoutout to Jason Eze and Wajih Hassan for securing the Grand prize and representing New York State at the prestigious Energy Conference on April 12th! Mr. Maurer was honored with the Peter Plumbly Engaged Participation Award, a testament to his unwavering support and mentorship. 

Congratulations to our incredible Atoms on their outstanding achievements!

 Saturday, April 6th, 2024: Fearless explorers from Syracuse Academy of Science Elementary tackled Baltimore Woods on Saturday, April 6th! The hike was a tad more challenging than their previous adventures, but that added to the thrill!

Atoms had a blast soaking in the sights and even made new amphibian friends—a live tree frog and turtle stole the show at the Nature Center! 

The club can’t wait for their next escapade as they nurture that special bond with nature and stay zen. Bring on the fun and adventure!
