The West Noble FFA got to show off a little this morning as the club hosted the West Noble Primary kids for a petting zoo. Easily one of the most entertaining days of the year for the FFA, they had out guinea pigs, rabbits, roosters, goats and cows for the little ones to interact with, as well as some planting and machinery opportunities. They even had a giant John Deere tractor in the lot for the kids to climb around!

Another night of Northeast Corner Conference baseball, but the backdrop was a lot more interesting.
West Noble and Eastside battled Wednesday evening at Parkview Field as part of the PSM Baseball Classic. Eastside took advantage of a couple West Noble fielding miscues, and held the Chargers to five hits in a 5-0 win, but the experience at beautiful Parkview Field offered a bittersweet parting gift.

West Noble Middle School took over BizTown in Fort Wayne these past two days! Part of the Junior Achievement program, BizTown is a hands-on program designed to give kids real-life experiences about how businesses work, how to function within a professional construct, how Uncle Sam collects, and how to budget money both personally and within the business.
Junior Achievement's staff kept the students on a strict schedule with preset tasks, and allowed them to 'earn money' to purchase 'goods' within BizTown at the various business spaces.
A huge THANK YOU to the staff at Junior Achievement and all of our West Noble volunteers for taking on our fifth grade classes and showing a great amount of patience as the kids learned what it's like in the real world!

May's Spotlight On Success for West Noble revolves around the literacy cadre and how our students are advancing through its teaching. The biggest pull from the two-year adaption of these principles from the IDOE to our West Noble students was an increase of IRead scores by 16 percent, as well as a unilateral K-4 adjustment in common language and shared expectations!
Kudos to our staff in these improvements as we continue to create an environment at West Noble as a great place to learn and grow!

The power stayed on this time, at least for most of the show!
After having to reschedule due to a town-wide power outage last week, the first graders at West Noble Primary got their first grade graduation in earlier this evening. A handful of songs included 'Months of the Year' and 'This Little Light of Mine' sung via candlelight under a cloak of darkness. The final song of the night was a localized remix of Journey's 'Don't Stop Believin' with a West Noble Primary special touch.
Each of the eight classes were able to be announced as they walked across the stage, everyone posing for a moment with their teacher in both the early and late sessions.
Congrats to our first graders as they start their prep to the elementary next year!
