— Toni Morrison, commencement address at Barnard College

Juneteenth is the commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States. The origins of the commemoration date back to June 19th, 1865, when enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas first heard that the Civil War had ended, and they were free. Juneteenth gets its name from a combination of June and nineteenth and is also known as Black Independence Day, Juneteenth Independence Day, and Emancipation Day.

The Science Academies of New York, in accordance with Governor Cuomo’s Executive Order marking Juneteenth as a holiday for state workers, will celebrate the holiday in accordance with the state moving forward. We are committed to building a better future based on peace, justice, equity, and equality for all.

Thursday, March 26, 2020—Central New York teachers are getting creative in their efforts to keep kids learning while schools are closed during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the video above, Lucas Cognetti, a first-grade teacher at Syracuse Academy of Science and Citizenship Charter School on Valley Drive, shows how he is being creative. He and his fellow teachers are using social media as a platform to connect with the kids. Cognetti’s special classroom reading chair is still in the classroom, so he made his own out of snow! He then shared the story “How to Make a Shark Smile!”

Friday, February 28, 2020—"Dedication, determination, and hard work will feed life into your dreams." #SASCAtoms focused on the following character strengths this February: Forgiveness, Love, and Zest/Enthusiasm. Congrats to all of our Student of the Month Scholars! ?❤️?
