Historic Sites of Manitoba: Pebble Beach School No. 1713 (Municipality of West Interlake)The Pebble Beach School District was established in December 1913 and a one-room schoolhouse operated at SE14-23-8W in what is now the Municipality of West Interlake. In 1967, the district was dissolved and its area became part of the Lakeshore School Division. The former schoolhouse was later renovated into a private residence but was standing vacant at the time of a 2015 site visit. It had been destroyed, apparently by fire, by the time of a 2021 visit. Among the teachers of Pebble Beach School were L. E. Campbell (1939), Gladys Hicks (1939-1940), Eunice Alice Wood (1940-1941), Mary Eleanor Evans (1941-1942), Elma Kletke (1942-1943), Geneva Grace Mattern (1943-1944), Ethel M. Funk (1944), William H.
