Addition to Roden School Globe, February 11, 1920Opening of Ashdale school, Windsor Star, January 13, 1908. In 1908 when the Ashdale School was built and opened, the area was not in the City of Toronto but in the Township of York. York Township appointed a woman as principal, probably saving money by doing so as female principals and teachers were paid a fraction of what men made teaching.Naming a school for Roden Toronto Star, 09 Dec 1909Midway Schools , Ashdale School renamed Roden in early January 1910, Globe, April 6, 19091910 CENTENNIAL STORY – THE BOARD OF EDUCATION FOR THE CITY OF TORONTO, 1850-1950 E P Roden ChairmanAshdale School renamed Roden, Globe, January 4, 1910Crap shoots Roden1910 Roden Public School, Ashdale Avenue, west side, north of Gerrard Street East, infant classRoden School undated1910 Midway Schools on water sewage, Toronto Star, February 19, 1910Principal Ashdale School Toronto Star, April 19, 1910 Principal Ashdale School Toronto Star, April 19, 1910 Principal Ashdale School Toronto Star, April 19, 1910 Principal Ashdale School Toronto Star, April 19, 1910 Principal Ashdale School Toronto Star, April 19, 1910 Principal Ashdale School Toronto Star, April 19, 1910 Principal Ashdale School Toronto Star, April 19, 1910 Principal Ashdale School Toronto Star, April 19, 1910 Roden Public School, Ashdale Avenue, west side, north of Gerrard Street East, infant class, 1911 TPLOvercrowding Roden School, Toronto Star, March 29, 1911Permit for new Roden school building, Globe, June 2, 1911Roden School, Globe, September 5, 1911Roden District Ratepayers Formed, Toronto Star, February 14, 1919Roden District Ratepayers Formed, Toronto Star, February 14, 1919Athletic grounds & playgrounds Toronto Star, March 5, 1919 Athletic grounds & playgrounds Toronto Star, March 5, 1919 Athletic grounds & playgrounds Toronto Star, March 5, 1919 Roden School, 310 Ashdale Avenue — playground – June 16, 1919Addition to Roden School Globe, February 11, 1920Roden School 310 Ashdale Ave playground, June 16, 1919 Roden School, 310 Ashdale Avenue — playground – June 16, 1919Addition to Roden School Globe, February 11, 1920Evening classes Roden Toronto Star, September 30, 1921Property bought for Roden School sold to library, Toronto Star, Jan. 27, 1922Roden Students Saved by Police, Globe, November, 1933Roden Students Saved by Police, Globe, January 20, 1933 Roden School Helps Bomb Victims, Toronto Star, March 7, 1942Roden student, Globe and Mail, October 1, 1946Waste paper, Roden School, Toronto Star, January 31, 1946Roden School Community Centre, Toronto Star, October 1, 1948Roden students Globe and Mail, November 24, 1949Roden students Globe and Mail, November 24, 1949Roden students Globe and Mail, November 24, 1949Roden students Globe and Mail, November 24, 1949Roden students Globe and Mail, November 24, 1949 Playing Baseball Roden Schoolyard 1950s, photo by Robert WakelinRoden Avenue Grade 3, 1950sLacrosse, Roden School, Toronto Star, April 5, 1951Fans Run Interference,, Globe and Mail, October 30, 1962City Schools Compete in Chess Test, Globe and Mail, February 27, 1956City Schools Compete in Chess Test, Globe and Mail, February 27, 1956Fans Run Interference,, Globe and Mail, October 30, 1962Fans Run Interference,, Globe and Mail, October 30, 1962Fans Run Interference,, Globe and Mail, October 30, 1962Fans Run Interference,, Globe and Mail, October 30, 1962Fans Run Interference,, Globe and Mail, October 30, 1962Fans Run Interference,, Globe and Mail, October 30, 1962Schools obsolete (Roden), Toronto Star, July 23, 1968Free furniture, Roden School, Toronto Star, July 4, 1970Free furniture, Roden School, Toronto Star, July 4, 1970Free furniture, Roden School, Toronto Star, July 4, 1970Free furniture, Roden School, Toronto Star, July 4, 1970Roden schoolyard in winter, January 1, 2010 by Joanne DoucetteSchoolyard Roden and Equinox Schools September 29, 2020 (COVID classrooms with social distancing outside)2021 Orange shirts Roden School, September 30, 2021, by J.
