General Information
Stonewall students love to read. Every child visits the library
at least once a week, an some students exchange books before
and after school.
The library sponsors several reading programs. The Texas
Bluebonnet Program for students in grades 3-5 consists of
20 books (selected by a panel of Texas elementary librarians)
which include all types of children's books. Twenty of our
students read all 20 of the 2005 nominated books, and one
student has already read all 20 of the 2006 books! Stonewall
Jackson also participates in the Six Flags Over Texas Reading
Program which requires K-5 students to read (or have read
to them) 600 minutes in six weeks. They also have the opportunity
to read an additional 600 minutes in six weeks for which they
receive special recognition.
