Forward Ho!!!! This is an old western term to move forward constantly. That is our goal here at Mary Jo Sheppard – to keep moving our students on further and further.
Special thanks goes to the MISD Education Foundation and for parent volunteers, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Bagley, for the wonderful new addition of a covered wagon for our library. The wagon will be used for story time, as well as for students just to crawl in for a fun, quiet place to read.

April 2011 -
Students from Dallas Baptist University (DBU) visited Mary Jo Sheppard Elementary on April 29. The students were part of DBU's international student program and represented six different countries (China, Japan, Vietnam, Brazil, Taiwan and Korea).
First, the special guests shared their customs and culture with the third grade classes, then they divided into smaller groups to observe individual classrooms. After the classroom visits, the international students ate lunch with the fourth grade classes.
This event allowed the DBU students to observe American education and culture, and to share their honored traditions with students in Mansfield.
