Programs and Activities
Special programs:
Special Events is a Stonewall Jackson tradition that began in 1976. Each year a culture or a country is studied in-depth. This study is a cooperative effort that involves teachers, students, parents, and community volunteers. Special Events is truly a labor of love and through our efforts, our students learn to respect and appreciate the richness of many cultures and customs from the countries around the world.
The Stonewall Garden began in 1996 from grants and donations. It has grown into a 20,000 square foot outdoor science lab. An herb garden, wildscape, greenhouse, pond, rockscape and a compost area complete the lab. Our beautiful garden/outdoor science lab has received generous support through volunteers, donated supplies and landscaping/building materials
