We’re reaching out to our performing arts families in hopes of gathering a little extra support for our student performers this week.

First, thank you to everyone who has already contributed snacks — we truly appreciate your generosity and support!

We are currently looking for help providing dinner for our students on Thursday, as they will be staying after school through the evening for their performance. Our goal is to make sure they have a good meal before showtime.

There are a couple of ways you can help:

• Donate a prepared meal or food items for the group
• Make a monetary donation so we can shop for and prepare dinner ourselves

If you would prefer to donate financially, I’ve attached a QR code linked directly to our Zeffy account to support the students’ dinner.

And if cooking for a crowd is your thing — wahoo! We’d love your help!

Please let me know how you’d like to contribute, and I’ll coordinate the details, including drop-off instructions and what items are still needed.

Thank you again for supporting our students and helping make this week special for them!

Feel free to reach out with any questions: [email protected]

Mac & Cheese: 4 trays

Popcorn Chicken: 3 trays
( buy freezer bags and heat and serve)

Carrot sticks and pepper slices

Ranch dressing ( for dipping)

Paper plates

Napkins

As the FTO, we want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible community being built at STEAM and the teachers and staff behind it.

The staff at STEAM are helping students build their futures brick by brick, creating real pathways forward and empowering them to become contributing members of the Syracuse community.

We have seen first hand how so many go above and beyond and we want them to know, we see you and truly appreciate every movement made to support all of our STEAM students.

We are proud to be STEAM, proud to be a place where students from across the area can learn, grow, and build their future. Most of all PROUD of our teachers and staff.

Thank you for everything you do for our school and our students.
Happy Teacher & Staff Appreciation Day!

I don't think it can be said any better...

Bob Searing, curator of history for the OHA, who offered this summary of what is happening right now:

“To have young people back in that building? To once again see it serving as a vanguard of public education? As a musician, as a fan of music … to have music performed again in the place where Duke Ellington and Django Rheinhardt and George Gershwin all performed?”

On May 14, Searing said: “You will feel the ghosts.”

Ticket Sales are officially open!!

Mrs. Brooks’ Business Entrepreneurship class traveled to NYC for a business lunch and a visit to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York!

While we couldn’t take pictures inside, we had a wonderful time learning about the “bank for banks” and how the Federal Reserve works to help keep our economy stable. We also had the privilege of going down into the gold vaults, where we saw billions of dollars in gold bars.

After our visit, students had time to explore more of the city, including the New York Stock Exchange, the Fearless Girl, the Charging Bull, the World Trade Center Memorial, Smorgasburg, and even a drive through Times Square.

It was a fast-paced trip filled with learning, new experiences, and class bonding. Overall, it was a great success!

A huge thank you to Ms. Walker and Ms. Martin for joining the Business Entrepreneurship class on this adventure!
