You always see someone you know at the newsstand or walking down Main Street. Of course, you can also find them sipping a cup of coffee or eating a sandwich at Clementes, or at the South River Luncheonette. The town also has its share of requisite pizza parlors and drug stores. I like the fact that South River is a town where everyone knows everybody. It's still very much a small town.
Neighbors watch out for each other and help each other out.
Actually two separate schools joined in one building, they benefit from separate entrances, administrations and staff, while sharing a common core gymnasium and a cafeteria. We built the new campus because we had three older educational buildings that were in very poor repair and weren't educationally relevant to the 21st century. We have been very pleased with the innovations we've accomplished in our schools in terms of technological advancements. For instance, the entire district is online, we have a district Web site, every one of our classrooms has at least one computer with Internet access and they are used by staff and students alike. South River High School is located nearby on the same educational campus, along with administration offices.
