Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 17/06/2016 (3671 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Alumni, students, teachers and former teachers, parents and Charleswood historians are gathering Friday afternoon to say goodbye to Chapman School.
The present school building dates back to 1945, but there has been a Chapman School on the treed property at 3707 Roblin Blvd. for 103 years. The original building was destroyed by fire in 1916, and its replacement burned down in 1944.
Enrolment has been on a steady decline, and parents made an extraordinary request to Pembina Trails School Division to move the remaining 51 children to Royal School last September.
Chapman will close its doors June 30. Friday’s farewell is scheduled from 2 to 6 p.m., with a short program at 4 p.m.
Westgate Mennonite Collegiate will lease the building for the 2016-17 school year during major construction at its campus in Armstrong’s Point. A daycare centre on the property will remain open until next summer as well.
Public-sector interests will have first crack at purchasing the property from the school division.
