School Spotlight: Legacy Teachers in Battle Mountain, Nevada
Christ Lutheran Church and Preschool are in the remote community of Battle Mountain, Nevada. The Church and preschool have been a part of that community for over 25 years. Although small, Christ Preschool has a big heart. One unique aspect of the school is that two of the current teachers were at one time students at the school. Schelbe Hall has been a teacher at the school for the past three years, and Dianne Drown is in her first year of teaching there. They both attended Christ Lutheran Preschool as students in the early 2000’s.
