Good afternoon: While researching ancestral records in the Arcola area, I can add two new one room schools to the project, Percy School located north of Kisbey in the southeast of the Province, and Cherry Ridge, located near Nipawin in the north central area. Attached is Percy School, located on my great grandfather's home quarter north of Kisbey, SW4 9 5 W2. I have attached some current photos of the cairn and the school as it exists today housing the Kisbey museum, and a couple of historic photos, which I am unable to date. My grandfather attended this school after moving to Canada from Scotland at the age of nine years in 1905, so it was in service for quite awhile!
