Thursday, November 9th, 2023: Ms. Mumpton’s class has grown by two! Since the class reached their goal of 2,000 Dojo points for October, on November 8th, two guinea pigs were adopted as class pets! Their names are Coco and Honey. The students will be responsible for cleaning the cage, feeding them, giving them water, and everything they need to thrive in the classroom. Studies have shown that a classroom pet may help improve children's academic performance and social skills. 

These Atoms are excited to welcome the new classmates to their fourth-grade classroom!

Thursday, November 2, 2023: Some Utica Academy of Science scholars had breakfast with our Superintendent, Dr. Hayali. They enjoyed delicious chocolate chip waffles and fruit. These breakfasts are such a special treat for our scholars and Dr. Hayali. It serves as a time for Atoms to get to know their school better and make suggestions for improvements.

What a great way to start the day!

Wednesday, November 1st, 2023: What's the craziest day of Spirit Week at Utica Academy of Science Elementary?! It's Crazy Hair Day on a wacky kind of Wednesday! Students and staff went all out and showed us their wildest hairstyles. Check it out!

Atoms in each homeroom displaying Honesty characteristics were nominated for the Student of the Month Award. Students also earned awards for Dojo achievements and attendance. One class from each grade earned the Golden Tray Award for good behavior in the cafeteria. 

Congratulations, Atoms!
