School starts next Tuesday for most students in Petersburg, and the Petersburg School District have a few new teachers this year. 

Noelle Bell will be joining the school district to teach second grade. She and her husband – Petersburg’s Casey Bell – just moved to town from Montana. That’s where she was student teaching, spending time in kindergarten, fourth grade, and middle school classrooms. She told KFSK’s Hannah Flor that second and third grade is her favorite age, so she couldn’t believe her luck when a second grade teaching position opened up in Petersburg just as she finished her student teaching.
