I attended EB Jones Elementary School 1955 from the 1st grade to 3rd grade and then moved out of the area to North Loop, I believe. The Carlos Escandon family were housed there as I remember the playground lights used to be turned on in the evening for us to play on the swings etc. Nostalgic.
I believe my mother attended Jones School. Where would I find records of students? Please email at: [email protected]
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.
