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!

Our #SASCCS First-graders are taking the literary world by storm. This winter, the first-graders in Ms. Eisenson's and Ms. Diorio's class worked very hard to write their own book. After writing about what they'd want to be when they grow up, the first-graders illustrated pictures to match their writing. Their stories and images were sent off to be made into a book. We are very proud published authors. Go Atoms! #SASCCSAtoms 

On Monday, May 7th, 2018, the Kindergarten classes at #SASCCS went on an exciting trip to the Chittenango Wild Animal Park. Students had fun learning about the different animals and feeding the giraffes. Go Atoms!
