Stonewall Jackson Middle School

Isaac was in all county band again this year and the practice sessions were at a local middle school, Stonewall Jackson Middle, here in Charleston.  It’s an old school that used to be a high school.  Anyhow, as I waited for Isaac to finish his practice one day, I noticed how striking some of the colors and scenes of the school are.

The brick pattern looked nice to me…so I am weird

As I was taking these pics, a man and his daughter wandered by.  The father was telling the daughter about the history of the school and the family lineage there.  It was cool to hear and sort of fun to think about history of schools.  I am amazed but the school where Emily’s grandpeople went through the elementary grades is still in use as an elementary school.  Maybe that isn’t so good but the old buildings certainly have character!
