Photograph copyright submitted by Heather Davis Image above Note: The school where my aunt, Jean Heather (her surname was Heather), taught from 1928 to 1932. A cousin Art Reid from Crystal Springs attended there too. Daisy Reid (Ellison) taught at the old Invergordon school as well at some point after my aunt Jean left. She later became Art Reid's sister-in-law. I have found the original with my aunt's handwriting stating it was the Invergordan school where she taught from 1928 to 1932. My great- grandfather John Richard Reid was 56 years old with 9 children who homesteaded there in 1906. ~Heather Davis In the book, DIXON LAKE SCHOOL CYRSTAL SPRINGS, SK, WAITVILLE, INVERGORDON, DIXON LAKE, NORTHERN LIGHT, TROMBLEY, KAMINKA, a quote says "Art Reid remembers being moved from the Invergordon School to the new Dixon Lake school IN January of 1933, finishing his grade 7 there and graduating from grade 8 in June of 1934. He and others were then moved to the United Church basement for the next 3 years whee he finished his grade 9, 10, 11 ending in June of 1937. He believes the second room of the school was added on at this time. Grades 1 through 12 were taught in these two rooms. Grades 1 through 7 in one room and grades 8 through 12 in the other. Quite a large load for the teachers at that time! Ike Gillam moved with them." According to the 1955 Golden Jubilee booklet compiled by the students of Invergordon School, the school building was erected on a three acre school yard in 1913. Miss Ida Pushie was the first teacher presiding over a class room of Frances, William and Harold Reid, Charlie Smith, Roy Weatherbee, and Martha Holmes. John Wainwright joined the class later in the year. In the first two sessions, the school remained open only six months. > The red lines on the map demark the boundaries between rural municipalities More information Title Pioneers and progress : Kipling and district, 1882-1998 Published Kipling, SK : Kipling & District History Book Committee, c1998 ISBN 1550563394 Title: DIXON LAKE SCHOOL CYRSTAL SPRINGS, SK, WAITVILLE, INVERGORDON, DIXON LAKE, NORTHERN LIGHT, TROMBLEY, KAMINKA Nearby Schools in this area SCHOOL NAME NUMBER ORG BUILT DATE OF FIRST CLASS LOCATION CLOSED DISORG FIRST TEACHER NOTES BEKEVAR 1904 1905 BENDER 4724 1927 1928 1958 Myss Myrtle Shoemaker RM Kingsley BUFFALO 1639 1906 1960 Joined Buffalo Plains School Unit 1946 CORONATION 2882 1913 April 1, 1914 SE 19-14-6 1957 Miss Carrie Collins 1946 part of Broadview School Unit; 1978 cairn erected CROCUS 4321 27-Apr-20 Fall 1921 NW 5 13 6 Marcella Schmitz CRYSTAL SPRINGS 984 1905 NE SE 14 13 5 Robert McLean 1932 Fire.

One is the Invergordon School House near Crystal Springs SK. I noticed on your site [here] that it says the school closed in 1949, but I have a T4 slip of my mother's dated 1950 and a gift to my mother dated from the class of 1950-1951. In Sept 1951 my mother was relocated to Candle Lake School. She only taught here for one year.
