Saturday, May 6th, 2023: Syracuse Academy of Science congressional award students visited Boston over the weekend. It was a very successful trip exploring the capital of Massachusetts and making great memories along the way! The group walked at the Boston inner harbor, grabbed food at the Quincy Market, visited the Old State House of Massachusetts, and enjoyed the walk at the Boston Common.

Thursday, June 8th, 2023: Syracuse Academy of Science Elementary School hosted its annual Art Night. Over 850 pieces of artwork from our talented toms were displayed, featuring two or more pieces from each student! The art show featured paintings, drawings, collages, mixed media pieces, sculptures made of toilet paper, and art that glows under black lights. Various stations also allowed students and families to create new art that night. 

Ms. A-B put on a fantastic night, and everyone had a great time! We can’t wait to do it again next year!

Mrs. Tracy's 3rd-grade class ventured to Ms. Negron and Mrs. Goyer's Kindergarten classroom to read with a friend! The older kids each read a book to their younger partners. Our Atoms love having a reading buddy!

Friday, May 26th, 2023: During Memorial Day weekend, Mr. Stowe and Mr. Yaman took Congressional Award students camping at Lake Durant. The group spent four glorious days in the Adirondacks region hiking Castle Rock Summit and Bald Mountain, visiting Old Forge and Indian Lake, swimming, canoeing, fishing at Lake Durant, and eating like they never had food before!

Congressional Awards are the highest honor youth can receive in the United States. Awards are earned by students who successfully complete four categories: physical fitness, personal development, voluntary public service, and expedition & exploration. This outing was part of the expedition and exploration category. Congressional Award candidates at Syracuse Academy of Science have gone to International festivals, taken weekend camping trips, and even traveled out of the state.
