Boule Creek S.D. No. 3314


A handsome little schoolhouse near Cadillac, Saskatchewan.  


Kids in the area went to school here for fifty years from 1914-1963.  


An old swing set near the hedge.


The grass in the schoolyard was thick and dense.


And the flagpole still straight as an arrow.


This is the front door where the kids would enter the school every week day.  


The white acrylic sign is looking pretty washed out but the taller black metal sign is holding its own.


The road past the little school on the Saskatchewan prairie...a road which goes ever on.

  1. Seeing the poles for the swings brought back memories. I went to a one-room schoolhouse (grades 1-8) and we had its twin. It was always a challenge to see if you could swing high enough to do a 360 over the top. Not exactly safe!

    1. I remember that...maybe not safe but kids will try anything.
