Dear Valued Visitors,

Exciting news! The Saskatchewan One Room School House Project, a cherished resource on the Provincial Saskatchewan Gen Web, is making a move to a new domain. You can now find us at https://saskgenweb.ca/cansk/school. We're thrilled to announce that this labor of love will continue, and our webpages will be regularly updated at the new Domain.

Our commitment to documenting the rich history of one room school houses, cemetery and headstones, historical maps, and disappearing placenames remains unwavering. These records are invaluable for those tracing their genealogy or seeking historical insights into the past.

Arroyo School # 1980 Pictures

The attached picture is of Arroyo School as per my father Lloyd Aitkin, who has now passed away.
Arroyo School was south of Beverly, SK. Just how far I am not sure.
The family farm was at the top of the hill south of Beverly and dad said even though they were closer to Beverly, they had to go to Arroyo which was south of the farm.
About a month ago I forwarded a picture of Arroyo School that my father had. From the history book that dad had, "Treasured Memories - Yellow Lake and District", was the same picture submitted to the book also. There, just before our family history was the same picture with the people identified.
Teacher: Mrs Elsie Knight
Back Row: Ed McPhail, George Aitkin, Norman Perry, Lloyd Aitkin, Bill Aitkin and Fred Hoff in middle.
