MEMORIES AND REMINISCENCES

How did the one room school house education system evolve into the school system in use today? Book transcriptions of pioneer school planning are complemented with an evolutionary one room school house timeline; the Evolution of Education in Saskatchewan. Reminiscences are included as genealogists and historians submit biographies and stories of their ancestor in the family tree.  The guestbook provides an online centre to reach out to the one room school community.  The consolidated school unit has taken the place of the one room school house.  Students are conveyed by bus to the nearest school.  The One Room Schoolhouse is an endangered species today. 

What has been the role of the One Room School House District to your family, in the community and for the province of Saskatchewan?  The one room school house was the heart and soul of the community.  Serving the homesteader as church, dance hall, school, and meeting hall. All of us have the ability to respond in preserving memories of this important and vanishing part of our history!
