There were two locations for Creston School, both being northwest of Dollard, Saskatchewan. The first location was used from 1927-1952 and the second from 1952-1964. About eight or nine years ago commemorative signs were placed at both sites. As the crow flies, the two locations are about two and a half miles apart.
I believe the school building was moved from the first location to the second location where it still stands, located just a few hundred feet from the edge of a lovely coulee. The school still sports its original location marker above the doorway.
This coulee is just west of the school. The kind of place that makes you feel "free as a bird."
The school windows face away from the coulee...wouldn't want the students to be
distracted from their studies now...right?

I bet the kids loved playing in that coulee!
