To celebrate the first day of the new school year, the Woodland Cultural Centre is highlighting the Thomas School Daybook [2000.18.1]. The Thomas School was located at the corner of Fourth Line and Seneca Road on Six Nations of the Grand River Territory. From 1894 until 1926, a succession of dedicated teachers recorded the comings and goings of the Thomas School (which would be relocated and renamed S.S. No. Four School in 1911). Visits from school trustees and dignitaries, events of the annual Christmas Tree (the school holiday concert), weather reports, supply inventories, disciplinary actions, lists of school graduates, and other community happenings were noted faithfully in the daybook. The daybook is in fair condition with some evidence of water damage. It is not on display because of its fragile state but has been completely transcribed for information purposes. Donated to the Centre by the estate of Mary, Julia, and Nora Jamieson, the full transcription of the Thomas School Daybook will be available in the Centre’s library when it reopens. "Six Nations School, Tuscarora Township called at the school at noon saw that there was a large number present the children were in the yard having a good time at ball playing. Which I was glad to see an exercise of such nature during recesses."
