Grade 3 Mendell students have been examining the use and impact stereotypes, specifically on Native American communities, in school mascots. They read primary sources from Native communities to better understand their perspective and recommendations. #mightyforceforgood

Congratulations to our 2nd graders who wrote and performed their own Cantatas for our community. They focused on inclusion and agency! #mightyforceforgood

It was SO amazing to have families IN our classrooms celebrating the incredible learning and thinking our students have been doing all year long! I felt like I was opening the doors to the hottest place in town!!! #Mendellmagic #mightyforceforgood

Look who is taking agency to beautify our school yard?! The Mendell Beautification Club was inspired by Mendell students who wanted to make our school better, cleaner and more beautiful for all and the adults couldn’t help but join in! #mightyforceforgood

Girls are On the Run at the Mendell School!!!!

Today we are observing One Boston Day, an important opportunity to shine the light on the everyday heroes that make our schools and communities safer, healthier and stronger! We are so grateful for the health care workers, educators, mental health providers and more!

Our Mendell Math Acceleration Academy was a huge hit! We hit all the math domains and engaged in meaningful, real-world project based learning while we did it. So proud of the students and staff that participated #cultureofachievement #MendellMagic

This week we are celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week at the Mendell! Mendell teachers model our values of inclusivity, excellence and agency everyday. It is an honor and privilege to celebrate them now, but truthfully educators deserve our appreciation all year. #Thankateacher

Another awesome Wednesday with our student inspired Mendel Beautification, this time focused on our Outdoor Classroom. Hey JP/Roxbury— the students need help securing mulch to bring their efforts to the next level!#Mightyforceforgood #TakeAgency

Our grade 2 students had an amazing day at the Arnold Arboretum. This was a perfect, real world opportunity to explore their unit on pollination.

The Mini Mendell Fun Run was a hit. It was awesome to see our upper grade Girls on the Run cheering on and supporting our youngest scholars. #Beinclusive #TakeAgency

First time in 3 years we were able to hold Magical Mendell Day. Joy, community, inclusion. It was a beautiful, soul-filling day. Thank you to the families and staff who made it happen #MendellMagic #MightyForceForGood

And the grand finale. 14 times for 14 homerooms. Joy all around. Even the very wet principal :-) #mendellmagic

The annual Mendell Mile is back on track. All students in grades 1-5 ran a mile on our track. The sense of accomplishment, community and inclusivity was palpable! Thanks to the staff, families and donors who made this possible and the staff at white stadium! #Mendellmagic

Fifth graders presented their reports on indigenous species of the rainforest to their kindergarten reading buddies. I don’t know who enjoyed it more! So much joy, curiosity and excitement for learning! #AspiretoExcellence #TakeAgency

Mendell 4th Grade Scholars visit the Old State House and Meeting House. They have been studying American History with a focus on counter-narratives, centering the voices of all who contributed and advocated for freedom. They demand and deserve a more complete history #TakeAgency

Congratulations to our k2 scholars who will be moving on to grade 1 in the fall. We are so proud of you! #BeInclusive #AspiretoExcellence #TakeAgency

Congratulations to our Mendell 5th Graders. We could not be more proud of the people you have become! #BeInclusive #AspiretoExcellence #TakeAgency

We did it, together! When educators work together with a common vision, shared values and very high expectations for ALL students and deep commitment to one another, it is incredible what they can accomplish! #MendellMagic #DreamTeam

Thank you @BCassellius for all the love and support you gave the Mendell and all of BPS. It was a hard 3 years, but children were ALWAYS centered in decision making and I believe we will emerge stronger than ever! The Mendell appreciates you!
