Historic Sites of Manitoba: Lauder School No. 779 (Lauder, Municipality of Grassland)Link to: The Lauder School District was established formally in May 1893 and a one-room, wood frame schoolhouse operated at Lauder in what is now the Municipality of Grassland. In 1912, the original building was replaced by a brick structure and the wooden school was used as a community hall. In April 1920, it was consolidated with Grand Pre School No. 714 to form Lauder Consolidated No. 779. At the time of a 2011 site visit, the first wood school and the second brick school were both standing at the site, but the older building was demolished in early 2015. Principals
