The deer, nicknamed “Lucy” by staff, only had a few cuts from the broken glass but was otherwise in good health. Conservation officers were able to tranquillize the deer before she was released.
Director of education for the Horizon School Division, Kevin Garinger, is thankful there were no students in school at the time of the incident. He also notes that thanks to the quick work of school and division staff as well as the area conservation officers the deer was out of the school within an hour and the classroom was ready for students the following morning.
St. Brieux is located approximately 170 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon.

This isn't the first time staff at St. Brieux School have had a run in with wildlife. In February parents needed to pick up their children from school because of a moose roaming around the community.
