Our Everyday SR3 Snapshots are all about celebrating the people who make SR3 feel like home. 💛

For more than two months now, we’ve been taking you behind the scenes — one random snapshot at a time — to highlight the many faces, roles, and quiet moments that make up our #SR3Family. These aren’t awards or nominations, just authentic glimpses of the people who help our schools thrive.

Today’s Snapshot features Kathryn Ball, Preschool Teacher at the Early Learning Center. It takes all of us to make a school district run — and we’re grateful for the joy, patience, and connection she brings to our youngest learners every day. Thanks for being part of our #SR3Family, Mrs. Ball!

Some of the most important people in our schools aren’t always in the spotlight — our substitute teachers.

Whether they’re stepping into a classroom with a moment’s notice, keeping routines steady, or bringing their own calm confidence to a busy day, our subs make it possible for learning to continue no matter what.

We snapped this photo of two of our long-time A-Team subs, but today’s snapshot is really a shoutout to every substitute who shows up for our students and staff. SR3 wouldn’t run without you, and we’re incredibly grateful for the difference you make behind the scenes every single day. #SR3Family #WeAreSR3#SR3FamilySnapshots

Thanksgiving Break starts tomorrow! 🦃✨

As we head into the holiday weekend, we want to wish our SR3 families a restful and joy-filled break.

A few quiet days to slow down, recharge, and enjoy time with the people who matter most.

👩‍🏫 Staff return: Monday, December 1st, for professional development
🎒 Students return: Tuesday, December 2nd — ready to finish the semester strong

This time of year always reminds us how grateful we are for our students, families, staff, and community. Thank you for the kindness, support, and heart you bring to SR3 every day.

If you’ve stepped into the Minnie Cline cafeteria lately, you already know the vibes: 67 days of cafeteria chaos… and all the 6–7 energy that comes with it. 😅

Today, our MCES lunch duty crew debuted their brand-new shirts to celebrate surviving the first stretch of the year — spills, smiles, mystery noises, and endless “6–7!” chants included.

From opening milk cartons at lightning speed to keeping the lunch line moving like a NASCAR pit crew, this team shows up with patience, humor, and a whole lot of heart. And yes… sometimes they even ride into lunch on a turkey. 🦃😂 We’re grateful for every chaotic, joy-filled minute they spend with our students. 💛 #SR3Family #WeAreSR3

“English teacher Erich Nemeth stands in a Savannah High School classroom wearing a black Savannah football shirt, with a student seated at a desk in the background.”
This week, our incredible kitchen crews at every campus poured a little extra love into one of our favorite traditions — the annual Thanksgiving meal. From scratch-made sides to perfectly timed turkey trays, they turned an ordinary school day into something that felt like home.

Our food service teams work hard all year long to make sure every student is well-fed and cared for, and today’s feast was just one more example of the heart they bring to their work.

A huge thank you to each member of our SR3 food service family — and to our Board of Education for providing lunch to all staff as a token of appreciation.

Swipe to see the smiling faces behind the meals that fuel our schools. 💛 #SR3Family #WeAreSR3

🇺🇸 Across the Savannah R3 School District, our students and staff came together to honor those who have served our country. From heartfelt programs and patriotic performances to handmade cards and special guest visits, every school found a meaningful way to say thank you.

We captured hundreds of moments of pride, gratitude, and community—far too many to fit into a single Facebook post! ❤️🤍💙

Mr. Watson's Spanish classes welcomed two distinguished guest speakers on Monday. Paco Martinez and Paul Spacek both work at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City in different capacities. Their presentations were partially in English and partially in Spanish. Students learned about a variety of issues, but the main focus was "Spanish is Your Future." These students were as incredible as the presenters. They listened, they were respectful, they asked great questions, and they showed a desire to learn. The presenters complimented the students and were grateful for how awesome their experience was at Savannah High School. Thanks to Mr. Watson for bringing this opportunity to our students! #WeAreSR3 #SR3Family
