On February 28, 2019, #UASCS celebrated 2nd Annual Black History month. Black History Month is an annual observance originating in the United States, where it is also known as African-American History Month.

On Friday, March 1st, UAS held their first ever pep rally to honor the boys' basketball team. The pep rally was led by Mrs. Paul. Schedule of events included: Introduction of Players and Mr. Lee; Video highlights of the team; A cheer routine performed by students and Mrs. Paul, Mrs. Grabovica and Ms. Narsasian; Remarks made by Mr. Lee and Mr. Ersoy and the rally ended with Mr. Brown leading the chant “Many Atoms, One Family”

On Friday, February 15, 2019, first graders went behind the scenes at our local WKTV News Studio. The students learned about the enhanced technology in the control room and the types of job available at a news station. #UASAtoms met the news anchors and watched from the sidelines during a live newscast. Our students were full of questions and excitement, and a few walked away saying that they would like to work at a news station someday. Thank you, WKTV, for a great visit.

On Friday, February 15, 2019, UASCS high school students danced the night away at the Winter Ball held at Delta Hotel in Utica, NY. In addition to enjoying plenty of good cheer, laughter, socializing and great food, high school students shared a night to remember. We would like to give big thank you to Delta Hotel staff for preparing the event and providing everything just the way we asked.

On Friday, February 15, 2019, snowballs were flying and laughter filled the air as UASCS sophomores trekked through the woods of Boonville in snow shoes. Scholars clumsily raced down a snowy hill, to see who was the fastest in the cumbersome shoes, resulting in many wipeouts fit for America’s Funniest Home Videos. Students made snow angels, had an epic snowball war, and shared lunch together in a warming hut, truly enjoying the wonders of winter in central New York. A huge thank you goes out to the Black River Outdoor Education Program for inviting our sophomores to Boonville. 

The UASCS Drone Team is hard at work on a project that’s part of Mohawk Valley Community College’s weekly drone program. The program is designed to expose students to emerging technologies and provide them knowledge about STEAM-related subjects. During a recent session, students worked on design and 3D printing, as applied to drone technology.

On Saturday, February 16, 2019, with a score of 33-18, our sixth-grade girls basketball team claimed victory over New Hartford and won this season’s league title in the Dick Miler/Mychal Harris Basketball League. Congratulations, Atoms, for bringing the trophy home!

On Friday, February 15, 2019, UASCS recently held an Awards Ceremony to acknowledge scholars and thank them for their dedication, hard work, and citizenship.
