One of the first schools built in this district was in Landry. It was built in 1917 with a grant of $150.00. The remainder of the money needed was put up by Mr. Landry. This circumstance gave the school and district its name. Mr. Landry was repaid by benefits from dances and other fund-raisers. Peter Pitts was the carpenter and some local help was donated to building the school.
Two children from another area came to board at Landrys to make enough pupils to open the school. Most of the children rode horseback to school, or in winter came by toboggan.
