Are there any historical records of students who attended E.B.Jones School from 1915 to 1921...I believe my grandmother Josefa Escandon may have attended school there.

I would like to know if there are any pictures of E.B Jones elementary school. I attended from 1963 to 1967.

Are there any students from Jones/Courschesne elementary? If there are, it would be nice to have a reunion. I know a lady who always tells me about the old times. Email: [email protected]
