Sodding bees were a community event at the Winona School. Walls of sod three feet thick would be piled against the wooden frame of the school to make a building that was warm in the winter and cool in the summer. In this photo, a large group of people stand/sit outside and on top of Winona School. Contact Rosetown archives for names.
