The colorful halls of Stonewall Jackson Elementary were full
of excited first-time and returning students on Monday, August 24, 2009 as
parents brought their children in for the first day of school.
After drop-off, new parents were invited to the cafeteria
for “New Parents’ Coffee” where the PTA President Kelly Newman welcomed
everyone and briefly introduced the school and all the extracurricular
offerings at Stonewall. The PTA Board, Dad’s Club, After School, and the
Stonewall Garden were all present at the gathering, and parents could ask
questions, sign up to volunteer for any of the upcoming events this school
year, and also purchase Stonewall spirit shirts.
The Stonewall Jackson Principal (DISD Principal of the year
2005-2006), Mrs. Olivia Henderson, welcomed all her students, staff and parents
by visiting each classroom and letting everyone know what an exciting year we
have ahead of us at Stonewall!
