Historic Sites of Manitoba: Tennyson School No. 1937 (Municipality of West Interlake)
|
The Tennyson School District was established formally in August 1918 and a one-room schoolhouse operated at SW31-22-7W in what is now the Municipality of West Interlake. In 1927, the original school building was destroyed in a suspected act of arson and was replaced. After the school closed, the building was dismantled and its lumber was used to build a new house at another site.
Among the teachers of Tennyson School were Mrs. Ruth Bruce, Miss Ruth Card, M. E. Heddin, Mrs. Jean Seal, and Mrs. Heatherton.
