West Noble Primary checked in Tuesday with an all-points bulletin from the Ligonier Police Department. Students went there to learn about how the police do their job, what tools they use and how they learn. Maybe now, finally, Officer Moser will get some respect in the WNP hallways!
The Potawatomi Zoo hosted West Noble Middle School's EL students Tuesday. Time away from the classroom, the group got to see the entirety of the displays, and also some hands-on exhibits like turtles and wild birds.
It worked so well for the first group, there was a guaranteed success rate for the second group!
West Noble Primary sent a group of students to the Bison Ranch in Wolcottville last week, and Tuesday, sent first graders to the ranch and park to experience the joys of the wilderness. Photos do all the talking here!

West Noble ran into a steam train Monday evening at the Fairfield Softball Sectional, losing to NorthWood, 16-2, in five innings to end its season.
The Lady Chargers weren't without its chances, leaving 10 runners on base, six of which were in scoring position, but only managed its two runs in the fifth already down a king's ransom.
Miah Hilbish was 1-2 with a walk and a run scored and Izzy Beers also scored for West Noble.
NorthWood, which scored in every inning but the fifth, opened with a nine-run first inning and never looked back. The Panthers will meet Tippecanoe Valley Tuesday evening while Columbia City, which held on to beat Wawasee, 5-4, in game two, will meet host Fairfield in Tuesday's second game.
Don't forget, Turning Point's coffee trailer will be at the West Noble High School parking lot tomorrow morning! Start your Tuesday off right!
Don't forget to be in Ligonier on Wednesday for the annual West Noble Primary parade!
Parade is set to begin around 12:15 on Main Street by Ligonier Public Library.
West Noble's first foray into the Unified Track and Field state tournament happened Saturday at Fort Wayne North Side, and the Chargers finished a respectable seventh overall with 69 team points. Needing to be one of the top three teams in the points standings to qualify for the regional round, the season is over for the program, but not without notable finishes at North Side.
Dominic Miller was first in his heat in two events, in the 400 dash (1:14.91) and the long jump (8-7). Lilyen Lyndsay was also first in her heat of the shot put, sending the pill 21-5. Alyssa Martinez was second in her heat of the shot (7-7) and Diego Quezada was second in his mixed 100 dash heat (17.84).
Homestead won the sectional title, and will be joined at the NorthWood Regional by Columbia City and Norwell.
Outstanding work this season, the West Noble community is very proud of our Unified team!
The West Noble girls tennis team saw its tournament season end, but Natalia Riegsecker is still alive in the individual tournament. The freshman No. 1 for the Lady Chargers won her match , 6-3, 6-1, to advance as an individual for the state ladder that begins next week. Lakewood Park Christian knocked West Noble out of the state team tournament, 3-2, Friday evening. Riegsecker and Ava DeLong won matches on the singles courts to pace the Lady Chargers.
Good luck to Natalia as she looks for individual glory in the state tourney!
Home, home on the range! West Noble Primary visited the Bison Ranch today and got to see where the buffalo roam. It was a full day of fun!
Thanks to Sherry Cox for sharing the pics from the trip!
West Noble's volleyball program are excited for its upcoming seasons, and started the buzz with its youth camps this week at West Noble Middle School. Girls in grades 2-8, a total of 85 campers, were led by nearly two dozen coaches and high school players in a week's worth of energy, team building, skills improvements and momentum for one of the budding programs at West Noble!
Jaylun Shaffer had a night to remember at the Angola Boys Track Sectional. Shaffer won both the 100 and 200 dashes (11.30 and 22.78), while also assisting on the 4x100 relay championship (43.81), joining Dustin Richardson, Xavier Yates and Fernando Macias.
Richardson was the high jump champion at 6-4, and joined Shaffer, Anthony Castillo and Brayden Knepper in the third-place 4x400 relay.
All of these events qualify for the Goshen Regional next Thursday. Congrats to all of our Chargers!
The final week of school is already exciting, and now it's going to get better! Next Tuesday, Turning Point's coffee trailer will be set up on the West Noble High School campus to serve drinks to students and staff! After a pair of successful stops in the Ligonier community in recent weeks, the coffee trailer will now be brought to campus for the Chargers to enjoy!
Turning Point Coffee Company is the crown jewel of Turning Point's outreach mission, not just providing a premier coffee experience, but also giving back to individuals and organizations in need.
West Noble will continue its girls track postseason after the rain settled at the Angola Girls Track Sectional Wednesday night.
Kayle Jordan advanced in both throw events, winning shot put (37-7) and taking third in discus, and Silvia Venturi added another field event qualifier with a third in pole vault.
Stefany Dominguez was second in the 100 dash, Gimena Aguilar was third in the 200, and both joined Elyse Mead and Andrea Campos to finish third in the 4x100 relay. Trinity Parson added a third in the 3200 run to qualify for next Tuesday's Warsaw Girls Track Regional.
Congrats Lady Chargers!
History was made at West Noble Wednesday evening. It wasn't quite the backdrop of Notre Dame Stadium under a sunny September sky, but Charger Field and West Noble Unified Track and Field hosted its first-ever Unified meet, welcoming in Wawasee for the historic dual.
Wawasee would win four of the five events to secure a 98-81 win, but as the rain began the drive sideways as the final 4x100 relay runners came home, it was a site to see as West Noble has now hosted a Unified sporting event.
Top times for West Noble included Dominic Miller in the 100 dash (15.99) and in long jump (8-7), Riley Barth in the 400 dash (1:34.07), Lilyen Lindsay in the shot put (19-7.5), and the Charger 4x100 relay won with a time of 1:11.88.
West Noble Middle School continued to celebrate its success in the classroom as 19 individuals who passed their WIDA tests were rewarded with a pizza party this afternoon.
Each of the students were able to bring a friend to the party, which was held to highlight a 5.0 overall proficiency of the WIDA testing, which began in late January. Typically taking 5-7 years to master, these students were primarily fifth graders and were a touch ahead of schedule per EL Instructor Danielle Long. All of the students tested at or above levels which cover all content areas in all forums.
Very well done, we are proud of our latest WIDA success students!
The creatures were loose at the Fort Wayne Zoo! We kid, as our West Noble High School students visited to zoo recently and were running amok, enjoying some time together before the final week hits in a few days.
Thanks to the Fort Wayne Zoo for hosting our students!
