TEACHER FEATURE TUESDAY: Today's featured teacher is Lesley Arnold. Mrs. Arnold has been an educator for the past 22 years and has taught a wide range of grade levels from early elementary to college freshmen. She is currently sharing her immense talent and educational skill set with our youngest Bulldogs in our Pre-K program.

As the wife of a former coach, Mrs. Arnold has had the opportunity to work in a variety of educational settings in several school districts in the state of Missouri and Kansas. We are very thankful that she moved, along with her family, to Harrisburg two years ago.

Some fun facts about Mrs. Arnold - her husband, James, is a college president and her daughter, Audrey, is a freshmen at Drury University. In her free time she enjoys spending time with family, traveling, drinking coffee, practicing yoga, and has taken up a new hobby - fly fishing!

Thank you, Mrs. Arnold, for sharing your time and talents with the students and staff of Harrisburg R-VIII. We are very fortunate that you are a Bulldog! #BulldawgPride
