In the past, for 11 years, children were taught in the one room school that once stood here. See some of the foundation still sitting here in the rock pile. This generation of children were once considered the future, now they are the past and we are the future. Remember and respect. Now the field behind this school is operated amen owmed by a family farm operation.
Before the advent of large administrative units in the middle 1900s, Saskatchewan had small school districts every 4-6 miles apart. Most districts consisted of a single 'One Room School.' The Dominion Government made provisions that Sections 11 and 29 of each township were school sections. In an era when transportation was via walking or horse and no roads, travel was difficult. When hauling grain to elevators with horse and wagon, approximately seven miles was considered to be a convenient distance. This would allow one trip a day.
