Good morning, SR3 families. Here’s one more gentle reminder as we head into the weekend:

All SR3 campuses will be dismissed 2 hours early today, Friday, April 3, and there will be no school on Monday, April 6, for staff development.

We hope your family enjoys the long weekend and a little extra time together. Classes will resume on Tuesday. #SR3Family #WeAreSR3

Mrs. Brooner’s high school ELA students had a unique opportunity to connect with a bestselling author last week.

More than 50 of our freshman and sophomore students participated in a live Zoom Q&A with Ruta Sepetys, a Lithuanian-American writer known for her historical fiction. Ruta Sepetys is a #1 New York Times and international bestselling author, a Carnegie Medal winner, and has been recognized by the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

Students had the chance to hear directly from the author behind some of their literature circle books—bringing their reading to life in a whole new way.

Experiences like this help deepen understanding, spark curiosity, and show students the real-world impact of storytelling. #SR3Family #WeAreSR3

Ancient Egypt came to life in 6th grade! 🐫📜 To wrap up their unit, students selected three different projects from a wide menu of options—everything from vision boards and songs to research papers, artifacts, maps, and timelines. Each project explored a different topic connected to Ancient Egypt.

The results? A room full of learning about mummies, pharaohs, pyramids, Egyptian gods, the Nile River, and more—all brought to life through student creativity. Students then participated in a gallery walk, leaving encouraging sticky-note comments for their classmates and celebrating each other's work.

Hands-on learning + creativity + peer feedback = a pretty awesome way to wrap up a unit! #SR3Family #WeAreSR3

Savannah Middle School Theatre is diving under the sea this weekend with The SpongeBob Musical – Youth Edition, and Bikini Bottom has officially made its way to the SHS Performing Arts Center.

From the optimistic energy of SpongeBob to the colorful characters of Bikini Bottom, our middle school performers have been working hard to bring this fun, high-energy show to life. If you grew up watching SpongeBob, you’ll catch plenty of familiar moments—and if your kids are new to it, they’re about to discover why the pineapple under the sea has been making people laugh for more than two decades.

Grab your friends, your family, and maybe even your inner SpongeBob and join us for a show that’s full of music, laughter, and a whole lot of heart.

Middle schoolers voluntarily coming to the library after school… to read...with friends?!?!📚👏 We call that a win!

Mrs. Whittington gathered duplicate copies so students can check out the same title as a friend — and they are ALL IN. We’re seeing mini book clubs, afternoon reading hangouts, and conversations sparked by great stories. Turns out, when you mix good books with good friends, magic happens. 💛

Now we want to hear from you:
📖 What book would YOU have checked out with your best friend in middle school?
OR
📚 What book do you think every middle schooler should read with a friend?

Drop your picks in the comments — we might just add them to our list! 👇#SR3Family #WeAreSR3
