Nancy Nuttelman retires after 40 years teaching in Coeur d'Alene School District
In the 40 years Nancy Nuttelman worked in the Coeur d'Alene School District, she taught more than 1,000 students. Those students have gone on to become valedictorians, neurosurgeons, sergeant majors, nuclear physicists, nurses and musical directors. Some have even followed in their treasured first-grade teacher's footsteps and become teachers themselves. This summer, Nuttelman officially retired from teaching. The 2021-2022 school year was the final chapter in her 31 years at Dalton Elementary School.
