OCS Students Place in CNY Rocket Team Challenge:
On Saturday, June 1, Onondaga Central School District freshmen Mariana Frazier, Sydney Fiaschetti and Abby Freyer placed second in the senior (high school) division of the MOST CNY Rocket Team Challenge.
The CNY Rocket Team Challenge is an annual student STEM competition in model rocketry. Teams of four to eight students design and assemble a model rocket kit provided by the MOST.
On competition day, teams submit their rocket for judging on the quality of their construction, knowledge of the subject, how well they estimated their trajectory and whether or not their “eggstronaut” survived its ride into the sky.

Wheeler Students Journey Through the Stars:
Students at Wheeler Elementary got a starlit experience thanks to the Starlab Portable Planetarium that travels to schools and is used as a hands-on laboratory for discovery.
Fourth-grade classes each took turns throughout the day entering the planetarium that was setup in the gym for an interactive presentation. Planetarium Specialist John Clancy took each class on a journey through the planets and stars, a fully immersive experience of the solar system.
Students saw the night sky as it appears in real life, with the advantage of having Clancy point out constellations and planets throughout the presentation, which aligns with New York State Learning Standards for Mathematics, Science and Technology.
The planetarium program is made possible through OCM BOCES.
