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

From voting and crafting to writing and drawing, our elementary students found fun, creative ways to learn and celebrate today. No matter what the groundhog says, curiosity and creativity were on full display across SR3. 💛🖤 #SR3Family #WeAreSR3
☀️ Rise and Shine! It's Coffee Time! ☕️
Our high school coffee shop recently had the opportunity to cater at John Glenn Elementary ☕️💛 And we’ll give you one guess what their favorite part was…
Yep. Cash, the therapy dog, stole the show. 🐾
From serving drinks to spreading smiles, this was a great example of student leadership, community connection, and a reminder that sometimes the best part of the job has four legs and a wagging tail. #WeAreSR3 #SR3Family

Genetics can be unpredictable and wild… and that’s kind of the point 🧬
Our high school bio students rolled dice to create DNA sequences, carried those traits through transcription and translation, and designed monsters based on the results. No two outcomes were the same—just like real genetics. #WeAreSR3 #SR3Family

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

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
