Due to Hurricane Helene, Anderson 3 has made modifications to school days in order to account for lost instructional time. We believe this approved change meets state instructional day requirements while only minimally disrupting our 24-25 academic calendar. ⛈️📚 -May 21: 𝙁𝙪𝙡𝙡 𝙎𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙡 𝘿𝙖𝙮 -May 22: 𝙁𝙪𝙡𝙡 𝙎𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙡 𝘿𝙖𝙮 -May 23: 𝙁𝙪𝙡𝙡 𝙎𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙡 𝘿𝙖𝙮 -May 27: 𝙃𝙖𝙡𝙛 𝘿𝙖𝙮 Video Message Here: https://youtu.be/LZcpJtWBjfI?si=5WuqsrpsiE6wjw-3

Funnels or Filters? Our Mental Health & Wellness Coordinator, Christy Upton, recently spoke with Starr-Iva Middle 8th Graders about the power of filtering information in their daily lives. 🔎🧠📱 With so much content coming at them—social media, adult topics, and distractions—it’s essential to understand that their brains aren’t fully developed to handle everything thrown their way. Students learned that prioritizing their time and filtering out the unhelpful, unhealthy, or overwhelming content can lead to greater focus, success, and overall happiness. Not everything deserves a place in your mind—choose wisely! ✨
