🧮 Math looks different at every age — from counting crayons to calculating equations — but the goal is the same: building problem-solvers! 💡 SR3 students are learning that math is more than numbers… it’s thinking, creating, and growing! 💛🖤 #WeAreSR3 #SR3Family

🧠 💛 This week, our Counseling Centers at Savannah High School and Savannah Middle School hosted important mental health presentations. Jessica Bledsoe from the Andrew County Health & Safety Coalition spoke with students about recognizing warning signs, building coping skills, and what to do if you or a friend is struggling. Family Guidance Center screeners were also available to visit with any students who wanted to speak with a counselor. Take care of yourself, Savage Fam - 🧠 mental health matters! 🖤💛 #SR3Family #WeAreSR3

If you get the chance to talk with an SMS band/color guard member, please congratulate them on their fantastic performances this weekend. After marching with the high school band in the Homecoming parade, the SMS band took to the streets of Carrollton for their first marching competition. The drumline and the color guard also performed their own indoor shows in the gym.

Results:
2nd Place-Class 4 Parade Competition (the 2nd highest score of ALL SIX middle schools that competed)
2nd Place-Open Class Indoor Color Guard
Exhibition Award for the Indoor Drumline

It was a semi-organized chaos for most of the day, but for their first time to perform competitively, our students traveled and represented our school in a positive manner. They ate their weight in donuts, hot dogs, hamburgers, and snacks. They had a great time cheering on the SHS band and watching other school groups. We are still tired, but we are so proud of them!

Special thanks to Mrs. Herbek and Mr. Noellsch for helping supervise students throughout the day and to our Music Accents Dad's for keeping us fed. #WeAreSR3 #MarchingSavages
