🇺🇸 Savannah High School JROTC is off to a strong start!

Earlier this month, seven Savannah High School Army JROTC cadets volunteered their Saturday morning serving breakfast at the local American Legion. While there, they had the opportunity to visit with local veterans and Representative Dean Van Schoiack—a meaningful experience rooted in service and respect.

With 45 active cadets already enrolled, the program continues to grow and gain strong support from both the school and the community. Cadets have also been busy presenting the colors at athletic contests and community events, proudly representing Savannah R3 wherever they serve. We’re proud of the leadership, citizenship, and service already shining through this new program. 💛🖤 #WeAreSR3 #SR3Family #SR3JROTC

As we wrap up the week and head into winter break, here’s a small idea that can make a big impact. 💛

If your child is writing a letter to Santa, consider having them write a quick thank-you note to their teacher, too. A few handwritten words of appreciation can mean more than any gift and will likely be tucked away long after the holidays are over.

Our teachers pour so much into their students every day—this is a simple way to help them feel seen and appreciated. #SR3Family #WeAreSR3

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!
