🕵️‍♀️ 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! ☕️
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

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.

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
