Wayoata Elementary School is an elementary school that is part of the River East Transcona School Division in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It and its twin school, École Regent Park School, were officially opened in the same week in February 1960, although some classes had been in session in both schools since December 1959. In the beginning, naming the school after Wayoata Street met with some opposition, since the official opening occurred on the day that The Prince Andrew was born. However, many liked the original Indian name, which roughly translated means "place of beauty and abundance". The school opened with eight rooms from grades 1 to 6. There was also a kindergarten, music room and nurse’s room. Since it was constructed, numerous additions have been made to the building to accommodate new pupils resulting from homebuilding in the area. Terry Fox attended grades 2 and 3 at Wayoata, and appears in a class picture dated 1965-66. A photograph of Fox, taken near the end of his grueling run near Thunder Bay, Ontario, is displayed prominently in the entrance hall. ==External links== *(River East Transcona School Division ) *(Wayoata Elementary School ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wayoata Elementary School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
