Historic Sites of Manitoba: Bell River School No. 2157 (Bellsite, RM of Mountain)The Bell River School District was organized formally in August 1926 and, the following year, a one-room schoolhouse was built at NW6-42-25W in what would later become the Rural Municipality of Mountain. At some point, the original building was turned into a granary and a new structure replaced it. The school closed permanently in April 1967 and the district became part of the Swan Valley School Division. The former school was renovated into a private residence. Among the teachers of Bell River School were Miss Thompson (1926), Ruby Cooper, Jack McDonald, Joe Sudzol, Ernie Chesney, Peter Ukrainec, Jean Abambroff, Edith Henderson, Ruby Kolowa, Mrs. MacDonald, Mrs. Langlois, and Madeleine Beaudry (1967).
