Our 4th graders at Amazonia have been busy.

In Science Club, students have:
🎢 Designed and built roller coasters
🚀 Created space ships
🧬 Tested the “DNA” of a gummy bear

Yes… Science is THAT fun!

And if that wasn’t enough, AZES just launched their first Math Club, where students rolled up their sleeves and dove into studying fractions — problem-solving, collaborating, and strengthening their skills together.

Hands-on learning. ✅
Creative thinking. ✅
Students choosing to dig deeper. ✅

We love seeing curiosity in action! 💛 #SR3Family #WeAreSR3

Our 6th graders recently hosted a gallery walk to showcase their hard work on ecological interactions — and they absolutely delivered.

Students designed detailed biome dioramas and paired them with 2–5 paragraph essays explaining:
• Ecological relationships between species
• Real-world limiting factors
• Biotic and abiotic components
• How changes in an ecosystem impact survival

From rainforests and swamps to arctic tundras and coastal environments, these projects brought science to life in creative, hands-on ways.

It’s one thing to memorize vocabulary.
It’s another to build it, explain it, and defend it.

We’re proud of the critical thinking, creativity, and effort on display in 6th grade science! 💛 #SR3Family #WeAreSR3

We are proud to share that two Savannah High School seniors have been nominated to the United States Military Service Academies — a highly competitive honor that reflects strong academic performance, leadership, character, and commitment to service.

Our junior class recently participated in the ASVAB — a required assessment that supports career and post-secondary planning. This year marks the first time our students completed the test online.

The ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) includes a comprehensive Career Exploration Program designed to help students better understand their academic strengths, interests, and potential career paths. Whether students are considering college, skilled trades, technical training, certifications, apprenticeships, or military service, the goal is the same: helping them make informed decisions about their future.

We’re committed to ensuring every student has access to meaningful tools that help them plan for what comes next. 💛 #SR3Family #WeAreSR3

If you’re looking for a simple Presidents Day activity, ask your student to share one fact they’ve learned about U.S. history this year — you might be surprised what they remember! We’ll see everyone back at school on Wednesday. #WeAreSR3 #SR3Family

We love that our families make Valentine’s Day special! As you plan, please remember that balloons, giant stuffed animals, and glass vases cannot ride the school bus, because they are not safe for bus transportation. Special deliveries may need to be picked up by a parent or guardian.

With Valentine’s Day landing on a Saturday this year, celebrating at home is the easiest option. Thanks for helping us keep school days running smoothly and bus rides safe for everyone! #WeAreSR3

🕵️‍♀️ 100 Days Smarter — Detective Style! 🕵️‍♂️

Several of our elementary schools celebrated the 100th day of school last week, and Mrs. Klimek’s 2nd graders at Amazonia took it undercover.

Students wrapped up a 100th Day School Detective project, putting their problem-solving and critical-thinking skills to work. One group was recognized as the class’s top detectives, while the full class participated in cracking the case together.

Learning, teamwork, and a little mystery made for a fun way to celebrate 100 days of growth! #WeAreSR3 #SR3Family #SR3AZES

Ancient Egypt has come to life (and… dried out 👀🍎).

Our 6th graders are diving into Ancient Egyptian history and learning about the mummification process—by putting it to the test themselves. Students carved symbols into apples and followed the steps ancient Egyptians used to preserve pharaohs… just with fruit instead of royalty.

Hands-on learning, historical curiosity, and a few very mummified apples later, this lesson definitely made an impression. #WeAreSR3 #SR3Family

Would you read with a snake? 🐍📖
Would you read with a teacher who cheers you on?
Would you read in the snow, on the way home?

Our students are showing us that, when it comes to reading, any time and any place is the right time. Whether it’s sharing a book with a teacher or squeezing in a few more pages during pickup, the love of reading goes wherever they do. That’s literacy in action. 💛📚 #WeAreSR3 #SR3Family #SR3Reads

☀️ Rise and Shine! It's Coffee Time! ☕️

Yep. Cash, the therapy dog, stole the show. 🐾
