Wednesday, December 22nd, 2021—The Wednesday before Winter Recess, Utica Academy of Science junior senior high school teachers, faculty, joined in a little holiday fun for their team bonding event. During their event, everyone had an opportunity to try delectable dishes from all around the world, and hopefully they saved room for dessert, as there were many sweet treats in all shapes, sizes and of course flavors.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this event possible.

Wednesday, December 22nd, 2021—The week of Winter Recess, Utica Academy of Science elementary school spread a little ‘holiday cheer’ by creating an in-school snow day on the half-day of school. Throughout the day the students participated in a variety of creative, hands-on activities, games and activities that were holiday and winter themed. From decorating cookies, to trying their luck at constructing gingerbread houses made out of graham crackers, to playing reindeer games (quite literally), to even letting their sillies out by playing in the school gymnasium. It is safe to say that this in-school snow day will most certainly be going down in history, much like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer!

We hope all of our students are enjoying their Winter Recess, and we look forward to seeing them next week.

Tuesday, December 21st, 2021—“The best way to spread holiday cheer is singing loudly for all to hear!” - Elf

Earlier this month, the Utica Academy of Science elementary school Atoms were busy preparing for their annual Holiday Concert. Each grade dressed in various themes from holiday colors of red, white, and green, to even the ever popular 'ugly sweaters.' During the Holiday Concert, guests heard musical stylings from the Atoms, a special drumline performance, and of course singing and dancing. What made this performance different from previous years, is that this concert would be held at the famous historic Stanley Theater with their names in lights on the marquee!

While pre-concert jitters may have been among not only the students, but teachers alike, the Atoms certainly rocked the house and there was certainly holiday cheer, laughter and merriment to be had everywhere in the building.

We would like to take this moment to thank everyone who helped make this event possible, and for all the students and their families who attended the performance - thank you for your patronage and supporting the Atoms and the arts!

We hope all of our Atoms and their families are having a very happy holiday and a safe Winter Recess!

Monday, December 20th, 2021—There is certainly no room for ‘bah humbug’ around these festive holiday sweaters! As the Utica Academy of Science elementary school students kick-off the start of Winter Recess, the Atoms had an opportunity to wear their favorite ugly, funny, or whimsical holiday sweater. Let’s just say the students, teachers, faculty and staff were all feeling fab-YULE-ous as they brought joy, laughter, and a bit of holiday cheer to everyone they saw.

We hope all of our students, teachers, faculty and staff are enjoying their Winter Recess. Happy holidays, Atoms!
