Feels good to get the first win!
Two touchdowns from Xy'mire Barnes-Bridges and touchdown catches from Brayden Limerick and Caleb Saggars helped push West Noble football to a 26-16 win at Wawasee. Barnes-Bridges had over 200 yards of all-purpose yardage in the contest, but the defense was rigid in the second half, forcing a pair of turnovers and stuffed a key-point try as Wawasee was looking to close within a score in the fourth quarter.
The Chargers move to 1-1 on the campaign and welcome in Garrett next Friday to open Northeast Corner Conference play.

Part of the shuffle West Noble's campuses experienced to begin the school year was the Applied Skills crew at the high school moving rooms. With that, instructor Haley Duncan called upon the community to help make their new room a little brighter.
Check out the ceiling tiles that now adorn the roof in their new room! Thank you to all of the groups that created tiles, and for the ones that are still in production! The Applied Skills room looks awesome!

In recognition of 40 years of service to the West Noble School Corporation, retired educator and coach, Dale Marano, was honored at this week's WNSC School Board meeting. Marano spoke of his time at West Noble and the appreciation he has for all of the people who were part of his journey.
“We’ve been blessed all along on this journey,” began Marano. “I was blessed when (former WNHS principal) Roger (Schermerhorn) took a chance on me over 40 years ago, and I’ll never forget that. I was blessed with wonderful kids to teach throughout all those years, thousands, and too many to mention. I was blessed by (WNHS athletic director) Tom (Schermerhorn), he allowed me to coach girls basketball for 14 years.
"I guess when I sit back and reflect on everything, I have a sense of calm. I feel really, really blessed by everything, the accumulation of everything. It’s been a really wonderful journey for me, and I appreciate everyone, I appreciate the school board. It’s been a good journey for me.”

One of West Noble's great traditions is the annual Charger Fishing Club! Led by Tim Schermerhorn, CFC not only teaches a man to fish (quite literally), but also gets kids outside, learning patience, practical skills and the ability to celebrate other's accomplishments. That's no fish story!
If your middle schooler is interested, we have fliers in the middle school, they can find Mr. Schermerhorn during school hours, or come to one of the first outings on the calendar.
Who knows, maybe you'll hook the big one!

Tonight were the final two Back2School Nights on our West Noble campus - at the elementary and high school. Families and staff worked around some construction hiccups as upgrades to both buildings are still ongoing, but everyone made the most of it.
There's nothing left now but the start of our 2026-27 school year, which begins bright and early at 7:30 a.m. Thursday at West Noble Primary - its final opening day as a building - and then at each of the elementary, middle and high schools. We are very excited to get started and continue to guide our students as they learn and grow.
If you are a high school student and are interested in auditioning for Theatre33, check out the information for the Aug. 27 event.
Round two of the Back 2 School Nights had West Noble Primary welcoming back its first graders and saying hello to its kindergartners for the first time. Spirits were high for the kids, and the parents seemed to be happy to have their little ones getting ready for Thursday. Tomorrow we'll have the Construction Twins hosting, the elementary first and the high school later in the evening.
Here's a great option to consider for your West Noble student! The Boys & Girls Club is once again hosting an after-school program at West Noble Middle School. See the flier for more information for the club that starts Aug. 17.
Direct questions can be made to Amy Church at churcha@westnoble.k12.in.us
