Coincidence or creative writing magic? ❄️
Mrs. Miller’s 6th graders wrote snow-themed stories about being stuck in snow globes… and winter showed up right on cue. We’re not making any accusations, but the timing is impressive. 😉 #WeAreSR3 #SR3Family

Savannah R3 will continue alternate bus routes tomorrow as a precaution. Routes may run later than usual due to snow-packed gravel roads. Parents of younger elementary students are encouraged to meet their child at the bus stop. Track buses in Durham’s BusZone app. More info: www.savannahr3.com
All SR3 busses will be running on alternate routes Tuesday, Jan. 27th. For a full list of routes please see our website.
All SR3 Campuses will be closed on Monday, January 26th, due to cold temperatures and road conditions. The district will be using an AMI day.

Our Everyday SR3 Snapshots are a simple way we celebrate the many people who make our schools feel like home. 💛 Each snapshot is randomly selected — not an award or nomination — just a genuine glimpse into the everyday moments and roles that keep SR3 moving forward.
Behind every smile and success at SR3 are people like Mandy Crider, Special Education Teacher at Amazonia. This week’s snapshot highlights her and the important work she does to support students each day.
We’re proud to share her snapshot and grateful for the role she plays in our SR3 Family. 📸 #SR3FamilySnapshots #SR3Family #WeAreSR3

🎓 Savage Shout-Out to Our First-Ever Master’s Cohort! 🎓 Last week marked an exciting milestone for Savannah R-III as our very first Master’s Cohort met together for the first time.
This group is part of a district-led, two-year master’s program designed to deepen instructional expertise and strengthen leadership across our schools. At its heart, this program is about choosing to invest in our educators in a way that creates lasting impact for students—both now and in the years ahead.
This initiative was spearheaded by Superintendent Dr. Hansen and reflects a commitment to learning that stays rooted in what matters most: our classrooms, our students, and our community.
What makes this program especially meaningful is how it’s delivered. Courses are taught by administrators from within our district, allowing participants to learn from leaders who know our schools, our students, and our community. That shared understanding helps ensure learning is practical, relevant, and immediately useful.
We’re proud of this inaugural group for stepping into two years of learning, collaboration, and growth.
Strong educators = Strong schools = Strong futures for our students. 💛 #WeAreSR3 #SR3Family

🇺🇸 Savannah High School JROTC is off to a strong start!
Earlier this month, seven Savannah High School Army JROTC cadets volunteered their Saturday morning serving breakfast at the local American Legion. While there, they had the opportunity to visit with local veterans and Representative Dean Van Schoiack—a meaningful experience rooted in service and respect.
With 45 active cadets already enrolled, the program continues to grow and gain strong support from both the school and the community. Cadets have also been busy presenting the colors at athletic contests and community events, proudly representing Savannah R3 wherever they serve. We’re proud of the leadership, citizenship, and service already shining through this new program. 💛🖤 #WeAreSR3 #SR3Family #SR3JROTC
