A piece of artwork is coming back home.

Eleanor Ingalls was a teacher with the School District of Mystery Lake in 1963. In 1967 she became the Superintendent of the Schools in the District- a position she held until 198, and making her one of the first women in Canada to hold such a position.

When she retired and moved from Thompson, the School District gifted her with a set of original drawings of the schools and the Board Office.

In April of this year she passed away at the age of 90.

Her daughter, Trish Ingalls recently wrote to the School District of Mystery Lake, saying that she found it fitting to return the art work to its “home” in the School District, where her mother dedicated so many years of her life.

At last week’s School Board meeting, the artwork was shown. There are plans to display them in a public area at the school board office.
