On Monday, June 4, 2018, Mayor Ben Walsh came and visited kindergartners at #SASCCS and was greeted with a warm welcome. Mayor Walsh read the storybook "It's Mine!" By Leo Lionni.

On Tuesday, May 29, 2018, members of the Syracuse Fire Department visited each classroom to discuss fire safety with the students. The firefighters talked about what to do if they smell smoke, if their clothes catch fire, and how to get out of a building quickly and safely. They also stressed the importance of following a firefighters directions if they come into their home or school to help them. The students were able to see all the equipment the firefighters wear to fight fires, and they were even able to sit in a real fire truck. Go atoms! #SASCAtoms #SASCCS
On Friday, May 25, 2018, #SASCCS second-graders went on an exciting trip to the Wild Animal Park in Chittenango to observe animals and wildlife in their unique habitats. The park exposed students to camels, giraffes, monkeys and other wildlife they would not typically encounter in their daily routines. The gamekeepers shared with students how these animals behave and act in the wild. These lessons in wildlife diversity are just one way our #SASCCS students learn about our global environment. Go Atoms!
On Wednesday, May 23, 2018, #SASCCS introduced a new student in Ms. Eisenson and Ms. Diorio’s first-grade class. Lea the therapy dog from PAWS of CNY trots into school every month to help the students work on their reading. Lea is a great listener and each student reads aloud to Lear to help strengthen their fluency and confidence.
On Monday, May 21, 2018 #SASCCS first-graders visited The Wild Animal Park in Chittenango and got up close and personal with exotic animals. #SASAtoms fed goats, llamas, and giraffes. Students learned about the tigers and black bears from the zookeepers. Did you know, the black bear Ursus americanus is the smallest, yet most common, of the three bear species found in America (after the polar and grizzly). These lessons in wildlife diversity are just one way our #SASCAtoms learn about our global environment. Go Atoms!
