Before the first bell rings, they’re already on the road.
Our bus drivers are often the first and last point of contact in a student’s day—offering consistency, safety, and a familiar face students can count on.
Rain, snow, early mornings… they show up.
And that reliability makes a bigger difference than most people realize. For many students, you’re a steady part of their day—and that matters.
If you see your driver today, give them a wave or a quick thank you. #SR3Family

Starting Kindergarten is a big milestone—for kids and parents 💛
Summer School can be a great way to build confidence before that first day.
Little things like…
✔ “I can open my own milk!”
✔ “I know what to do at recess”
✔ “I can follow my teacher’s directions”
✔ “I know how lunch works”
✔ “I can line up and wait my turn”
✔ “I feel ready for school”
Those small wins can make a big difference in August.
Even if summer school isn’t held at your child’s future building, it’s still a great way to get comfortable in a school setting.

Students in Animal and Food Science recently got a hands-on look at how a retail meat product is made — by making their own bratwurst sausages from start to finish.
They cut, ground, seasoned, mixed, and pressed their own pork sausage recipes while learning about the fabrication process and following safe food handling procedures along the way.
Experiences like this give students the chance to apply classroom learning in a real-world setting and build practical skills they can carry with them into the future.
A big thank you to Mr. Bill Stone for helping procure the pork shoulders and to Big Poppa Smokers for providing the sausage seasonings.
Rumor has it the brats turned out fantastic! #SR3Family #WeAreSR3





Early mornings, late nights, and everything in between—our maintenance and custodial teams keep our buildings safe, clean, and ready for students and staff each day.
When something needs fixed, cleaned, moved, or prepared… you’re already on it.
It’s work that often goes unnoticed—but it never goes unappreciated.
Thank you for everything you do to take care of our schools. #WeAreSR3 #SR3Family

Ever flown in an Air National Guard C-130? Yesterday, eight senior Savage Battalion JROTC cadets had the opportunity to travel the local airspace, stand in the cockpit, and enjoy the beautiful Missouri landscape from the blue skies. A big thank you to the 139th Airlift Wing and Lafayette HS Senior Army Instructor Lt. Col. Trent Loucks!
Opportunities abound when you are a member of the Savage Battalion! #WeAreSR3 #SR3Family #SR3JROTC

When things work well, it’s because of you.

Every school has those people who just get it.
The ones who know when to push, when to pause, and when a student needs a little extra encouragement. The ones who celebrate the small wins, adjust on the fly, and show up ready to do it all again the next day.
Our teachers and paras are at the heart of that work—and our students are better because of it.
And for those who continue that work long after the final bell—coaching, sponsoring, and showing up for students in a whole different way—we see you too.
If you see a teacher or para today, take a moment to say thank you. It matters more than you know. #WeAreSR3 #SR3Family
