Historic Sites of Manitoba: Fair Valley School No. 1749 (Municipality of Glenboro-South Cypress)The Fair Valley School District was established in January 1915 and a one-room schoolhouse operated at NW19-8-13W in what is now the Municipality of Glenboro-South Cypress. The school closed in 1958 and the district was dissolved the following year. Its catchment area became part of the Glenboro Consolidated School District. The former schoolhouse was sold and moved away; only its concrete foundation remains at the site. A stone monument, dedicated in July 1980, commemorates it. Among the teachers of Fair Valley School were Barney Bjarnason (1915-1916), Ellen Gillis (1916-1917), Miss Marie Thompson (1922), Miss Anderson (1923-1924), Miss Sterling (1928), Miss Minnie Down (1928), Miss Thelma Johannsson (1930-1933), Miss Velma Couch (1937-1939), Miss D.
