Mendel Rivers Elementary School, our philosophy is to establish a firm foundation on which students build citizenship and gain skills valuable to themselves and society. Through a safe and positive learning environment, we provide opportunities for each child to study in a comfortable surrounding. We encourage cooperation among school, home, and community because we believe the cooperative effort is necessary to the success of the whole individual–intellectually, emotionally, and physically. Because we are committed to the learning process of each child and believe all children can learn, we challenge each to achieve a level of success in accordance with his or her abilities and potential. By equipping students with knowledge and skills, we strive to prepare all students to become lifelong learners and productive citizens in an ever-changing world.
