Institutionele geschiedenis
The Blofield School District was located, in the area south of Buffalo Pound Lake and east of Tuxford. The name was taken from a church parish near Bath, England. The first Board of Trustees consisted of A.R. Ross, R.R. Bruce, Jas. Staples and J.L.O. de la Hey. Approval by the trustees for construction of a school had been given in September 1912. In 1913 the school was built on SW 6-19-25 W2 and opened for classes on January 5, 1914.
The district originally consisted of 9600 assessable acres with 20 families and 11 children. Enrollment usually varied between ten (10) and twenty (20) pupils. Miss Mabel Moss served as the first teacher between January 1914 and June 1916.
In December 1947 the school was destroyed by fire. Classes were held in an empty house until a new school was rebuilt. At a meeting of the trustees on March 18, 1959 they voted to close the school at the end of the term and bus students to Tuxford. The building was moved to the South-West of Moose Jaw and continued to be used as a school.
The trustees continued to meet until 1962, at which time they voted to join a central board at Tuxford.
