Tuesday, April 11th, 2023: Shari Merten, the Learning and Engagement Coordinator from the Everson Museum of Art, visited Syracuse Academy of Science Kindergarteners. Shari shared a picture of the museum with students and told them about what a museum is, what kinds of things you can find there, and who works there. Shari also read the book "A Perfectly Messed Up Story" by Patrick McDonnell, which teaches the students that it's ok to make a mess and make mistakes.

Thank you to Shari and the Everson Museum for sharing your museum with our students!

The Everson Museum of Art is open Wednesday through Sunday, starting at 11 am. Check it out!

Monday, April 24th, 2023: Syracuse Academy of Science high school celebrated our hardworking and deserving science fair winners! Students were rewarded with a pizza party in the conference room before a short award ceremony. Students in grades 8th through 11th were awarded 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place based on their preparation (research paper, writing journal, and background research study.) Each grade was also given student choice awards, which their peers analyzed. 

Congratulations to all the science fair winners! You make us proud!!

Thursday, April 13th, 2023: Syracuse Academy of Science second-grade students spent the day touring and learning about the SUNY Oswego campus. They saw a residence hall and took a trip to the theater, where they did a color-sorting activity learning about how the cones in your eyes absorb colors. Students also saw the miniature Zamboni named "Mini" and watched it shoot out a t-shirt. They had to estimate the distance it traveled and then measure it (17 meters in case anyone was wondering!) This tour was organized and run by the Education Department at SUNY Oswego, where future teachers could plan their daily activities. 

It was a wonderful experience for our young Atoms. Not many 2nd graders can say they’ve toured a college before!

Monday, March 6th, 2023: Black History Month may be officially over, but we’re still highlighting a project Syracuse Academy of Science 5th graders worked hard on! ELA students read books and researched change makers to learn more about their impact on our community. They finished the project by overcoming public speaking fears to present to their classmates and a few community members!
