💛 Welcome to the SR3 Family, LTC Trent Loucks!
Please help us welcome LTC Trent Loucks, who is joining Savannah High School as our new JROTC Senior Army Instructor! As our JROTC program continues to grow, LTC Loucks will join Sgt. Barry Adwell in leading and expanding opportunities for our cadets.
A Savannah resident since 2020, LTC Loucks was excited for the opportunity to serve the community he calls home. Before joining SR3, he taught at Lafayette High School and brings both military leadership experience and a passion for mentoring young people.
LTC Loucks earned his bachelor's degree from Michigan State University and his master's degree from American Military University. Outside of school, he enjoys traveling, reading, writing, fitness, and spending time with his wife, Nicole, and their daughters, Cheyenne and Madison. He also credits a strong network of fellow service members from across the military for supporting him throughout his career.
One of his favorite parts of teaching is overhearing students discussing something he taught them—especially when they don't realize he's listening. If he could choose one superpower for the job, it would be endless energy.
We're excited to have LTC Loucks helping lead the next generation of SR3 JROTC cadets. Welcome to the SR3 Family! #WeAreSR3 #SR3Family #SR3💛Trades

💛 Welcome Back to the SR3 Family, Carrie Hansen!
Please help us welcome Carrie Hansen back to Savannah R3! Carrie is joining our elementary team as a Library Paraprofessional, serving students at Amazonia, Helena, and John Glenn Elementary.
Carrie brings 11 years of experience in education, including two years as a library paraprofessional and nine years as a special education paraprofessional. After spending time in neighboring districts, she's excited to return to what she calls "the best school district ever!"
When she's not helping students discover their next great read, Carrie enjoys creating art through drawing, coloring, and painting—especially with oil pastels. She also loves spending time with her family, including her husband, two children, daughter-in-law, two granddogs, and her own two dogs.
A fun fact? Carrie grew up on a farm and had a pet pig named Wilbur, just like the beloved character from Charlotte's Web.
If Carrie could have one superpower at work, she'd choose the ability to put library books away instantly. (We have a feeling every librarian would sign up for that one!)
Welcome back, Carrie! We're so glad you're part of the SR3 Family once again. #WeAreSR3 #SR3Family

💛 Welcome to the SR3 Family, Molly Henson!
Please help us welcome Molly Henson, who is joining Amazonia Elementary and Helena Elementary as our new School Counselor!
Molly is beginning her first year in education after graduating from the University of Saint Mary. She was drawn to SR3 because of her passion for helping students in rural communities grow socially and emotionally, and she's excited to support our youngest learners.
Outside of school, Molly enjoys reading, gardening, and scrapbooking. She also has an interesting fun fact—she grew up in Dallas, Texas, and was a competitive swimmer for 15 years! At home, she enjoys spending time with her fiancé, McKinley Lillard, and their three dogs.
If Molly could choose one superpower for her job, she'd pick infinite pocket space—because counselors always seem to have one more thing they need to carry!

💛 Meet Heather Cook!
If you've stopped by the Central Office over the past few months, chances are you've already been greeted by Heather Cook, our District Receptionist!
Heather joined the SR3 team full-time after spending the last three years subbing throughout the district. Once all four of her children were in school, she was ready for a full-time opportunity—and when the chance came to continue serving the SR3 family, she jumped at it.
When she's not at the front desk helping the district run smoothly, Heather enjoys spending time with her husband, Rory, and their four children—Creighton, Rylanton, Skyler, and Wrenly. Whether they're at church, cheering on the kids at sporting events, or making memories on family trips, they're happiest together.
If Heather could choose one superpower for her job, she'd clone herself—one Heather to answer phones, another to greet visitors, and a third to tackle the day's to-do list! (Anyone who's visited the Central Office knows that would probably come in handy.)

🍎 Welcome to the SR3 Family, Emily Quinn!
Please help us welcome Emily Quinn, who is joining Savannah Middle School as our new Essential Skills Teacher!
Emily is beginning her very first year in education after graduating from Northwest Missouri State University. Although she graduated from another high school, she completed her student teaching here at Savannah and quickly knew this was where she wanted to begin her career.
Teaching runs in the family—both of Emily's parents are educators, inspiring her to follow the same path. Outside the classroom, she enjoys hiking, reading, traveling, and spending time with her two cats, Sweet Potato and Cantaloupe.
If Emily could have one classroom superpower, she'd choose the ability to teleport anywhere in the school whenever she's needed. (A power many teachers might appreciate!)

As you prepare for the new school year, please take a few minutes to make sure your student’s immunizations and school records are up to date.
Missouri requires all students to provide documentation of their current immunization status before attending school. Requirements vary by age and grade level, so families of students in every grade should review their child’s records.
A few important reminders:
Students entering 8th grade need a Tdap vaccine and at least one required MCV (meningococcal) vaccine.
Students entering 12th grade need two MCV doses unless their first dose was given at age 16 or older. At least one dose must be given after age 16.
Students who are still completing a vaccine series must have the required “Immunizations In Progress” form on file and keep their next scheduled appointment.
Please contact your child’s healthcare provider or school if you are unsure whether your student’s records are complete.
The Andrew County Health Department also offers immunization appointments. Call 816-324-3139 to schedule. Medicaid, uninsured, underinsured, and most private insurance are accepted.
Taking care of this now can help make the start of school a little smoother for everyone. #SR3Family #WeAreSR3

Please help us welcome Matthew Vincent to the SR3 Family! 🖤💛
Matthew joins Savannah Middle School as our new Science Teacher and is excited to be teaching in the community his family calls home.
Outside the classroom, Matthew enjoys cooking, beekeeping, and board games with his wife and their two energetic young boys. Before coming to SR3, he even researched how beaches form, change, and move over time—proof that his love of science extends well beyond the classroom!
When asked what superpower would make his job easier, Matthew didn't hesitate: a never-ending dry-erase marker. We have a feeling that's a wish every teacher can appreciate. 😄
We're excited to have Matthew on the SR3 team. Be sure to give him a warm Savage welcome in the comments! #WeAreSR3 #SR3Family

Help us welcome Buzz Verduzco to the SR3 Family! 🖤💛
Buzz joins Savannah High School as our Missouri Options Teacher, bringing decades of experience in both higher education and secondary education.
One of the things he's most looking forward to is working alongside positive coworkers—including his wife, Tracy, who teaches Spanish at SHS! When he's not at school, you'll likely find him tackling a home improvement project, flipping furniture, staying active with weight training, or cheering on his favorite tennis players.
When asked what brightens his day, Buzz shared that it's hearing about the achievements and small victories of his family—and watching them overcome life's challenges. We have a feeling he'll be celebrating plenty of student victories, too.

Meet Raven Jackson, who is joining Savannah High School as a High School Math Teacher for her very first year in education!
Raven completed her student teaching at Savannah Middle School, and she says the experience made her first career choice an easy one. The welcoming community, supportive staff, and amazing students convinced her that SR3 was exactly where she wanted to begin her teaching journey.
Outside the classroom, Raven enjoys hiking while listening to music or audiobooks, but her students may be surprised to learn that she's one of the first female Eagle Scouts in the state of Kansas and played 11-man football throughout high school! 🦅🏈
Raven credits her high school math teacher, Mr. Kliewer, for inspiring her love of mathematics with lessons that were always creative and kept students on their toes. Now she's excited to bring that same enthusiasm to her own classroom.
We're thrilled to welcome Raven to the SR3 Family and can't wait to see the impact she'll make at Savannah High School! #WeAreSR3 #SR3Family

That's what drew Reese Bryant to Savannah R3!
Reese joins Minnie Cline Elementary as a 4th Grade Teacher, where she'll begin her first year in the classroom.
After completing her student teaching and serving as a long-term substitute at Mid-Buchanan Elementary, Reese knew she wanted to begin her teaching career in a district with a strong reputation. Having heard so many great things about SR3, she's excited to officially join the team and serve our students and families.
When she's not teaching, Reese enjoys spending time outdoors, staying active, shopping, and making memories with family and friends. Students may also be surprised to learn that she used to show goats! 🐐
Reese says a fountain Mountain Dew or a cup of coffee can brighten just about any day, and we're excited to see her bring that same positive energy to the halls of Minnie Cline.

Take a few minutes to review your sample ballot before Election Day, so you know what to expect.

Not every teacher is cut out for middle school—but for Bethney Pedersen, it's exactly where she wants to be! 💛🖤
Bethney joins Savannah Middle School as an 8th Grade ELA and 7th Grade Reading teacher, bringing five years of teaching experience to the SR3 Family.
After teaching in a smaller district, Bethney was excited for the opportunity to join a larger school and focus exclusively on middle school students. She says her family—especially her sister, who is also a middle school reading teacher—has been her biggest source of encouragement throughout her career.
Outside the classroom, Bethney enjoys reading, playing softball, working out, and driving her Dodge Challenger. She also credits her first-grade teacher, Mrs. Nance, with helping shape both her educational journey and her decision to become a teacher.
When asked what instantly brightens her day, Bethney had the perfect middle school answer: humor and a good joke! We have a feeling she'll fit right in.

That's exactly how Eastin Woolf felt while student teaching at Minnie Cline Elementary—and now she's officially joining the SR3 Family as a 2nd Grade Teacher!
Eastin says the support and encouragement she received from the Minnie Cline staff made such a lasting impression that she knew it was where she wanted to begin her teaching career. Now she'll have the opportunity to work alongside the educators who helped inspire her while serving the students and families of SR3.
Teaching has always been close to home for Eastin. Both of her parents are educators, and she credits them with inspiring her passion for the profession and encouraging her every step of the way.
When she's not in the classroom, Eastin enjoys spending time outdoors, visiting the lake, exploring new coffee shops, and cheering on the Kansas City Chiefs. She also admits an iced coffee—or an Alani Nu—is the perfect way to start the day! ☕❤️💛
We're excited to officially welcome Eastin to the SR3 Family and can't wait to see all she'll accomplish with our second graders! #WeAreSR3 #SR3Family

Help us welcome Olivia Butcher to the SR3 Family! 💛🖤
Olivia is joining Savannah Middle School as an 8th Grade English and Reading Teacher, where she'll begin her first year in education.
When searching for the right place to start her teaching career, Olivia says Savannah's supportive community stood out immediately. She's excited to become part of a district where students, families, and staff genuinely support one another.
Outside the classroom, Olivia loves staying active through running, pickleball, volleyball, weightlifting, and hiking. In fact, she's already conquered two 14,000-foot mountain peaks in Colorado—and has plans to tackle two more this summer! 🏔️
Olivia says one of her favorite teachers made history come alive by helping students imagine what it looked, sounded, smelled, and even tasted like to live through historical events. That creativity inspired her and continues to shape the kind of engaging classroom she hopes to create for her own students.
We're excited to welcome Olivia to the SR3 Family and can't wait to see the impact she'll make at Savannah Middle School. #WeAreSR3 #SR3Family

Outside the classroom, Olivia loves staying active through running, pickleball, volleyball, weightlifting, and hiking. In fact, she's already conquered two 14,000-foot mountain peaks in Colorado—and has plans to tackle two more this summer! 🏔️
Olivia says one of her favorite teachers made history come alive by helping students imagine what it looked, sounded, smelled, and even tasted like to live through historical events. That creativity inspired her and continues to shape the kind of engaging classroom she hopes to create for her own students.
We're excited to welcome Olivia to the SR3 Family and can't wait to see the impact she'll make at Savannah Middle School. #WeAreSR3 #SR3Family
