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!
Turning Point is celebrating its latest graduate, Dabria DeWells, and not just because she finished her coursework, but for making progress on quite a life journey.

Piggybacking on a post we had up yesterday, West Noble Middle School also traveled to Fort Wayne last week for their Charger Reading Challenge reward, and we have the group photo ready to share! Three dozen students from WNMS earned the trip, which was sponsored in part by the United Way. We thank them for their continued support of our students, and congratulate our young readers on their persistence.
West Noble School Corporation is very proud to formally introduce our new K-12 website!
The site, still located at westnoble.k12.in.us, is revamped and simplified to make your West Noble experience better! You can find virtually everything here, from school calendars and staff listings (with pictures!) to social media feeds and organic news from our campuses. You'll also be able to find all of the school board materials in one place, information from each of our departments, lunch menus for each building, links to athletics for the high school and middle school, club offerings, and much, much more.
Take a minute to look around at all the great things we have going at our West Noble schools, and bookmark the page so you don't miss anything!
A great opportunity for our middle schoolers! Hurry, registration ends on June 2nd!

Hitting their mark, West Noble High School students who got their chapters in were rewarded with a trip to Fort Wayne. The Charger Reading Challenge is open to all staff and students at the high school with the intention to increase literacy among high school students and promote the love of books. The CRC winners went to Barnes & Noble last week as their reward.
Hot off the presses, the girls tennis sectional draw is barely dry, but there isn't much time to delay. Action at the East Noble Girls Tennis Sectional begins Wednesday, with West Noble and Lakewood Park battling in one of the two semi-final matches on Thursday for a place in the championship match Saturday.
Let's go Lady Chargers!
Having absolutely no idea of what to expect, and really, nothing to lose, Xavier Viera traveled to Orlando, Florida, earlier this month to take part in the BPA Nationals. A very quiet kid nearly made a lot of noise in his series' of competitions. Find out how he did, and the confidence it brought to our WNHS senior here:

It's still a long drive to Angola. Might as well be like the girls and win some hardware. Maybe a team title!
Let's go Charger track and field!
It could be a year of firsts for West Noble Unified Track & Field. Let's make some memories this Saturday in Fort Wayne!
Go Charger Unified!!!
It's a long drive to Angola. Might as well win some hardware.
Let's go Lady Charger track and field!
More celebrating as we wind down the school year!
West Noble Middle School students who passed their WIDA testing were rewarded with an ice cream sundae party, acknowledging a bigger goal. Each student had a goal set in one of the language domains of reading, writing, speaking, or listening. The goal is to improve by 0.5 or more in that specified domain, and we had 84 students meet their goal this year!
The ice cream party, cool, but bigger cheers for so many of our kids reaching and exceeding their goals in the testing circuit.
West Noble High School had a quintet of students honored in a unique way earlier this week.
Wednesday afternoon, five of our high school students were honored with a signing ceremony at Impact. The ceremony was held to recognize each student's aspirations to continue their education in a post-secondary institution or go directly into the workforce in their area of study.
Among the more than a dozen students in all that were honored, West Noble would like to congratulate five of our own:
Halle Barrientos, Jacob Carbaugh, Tabitha Soria, Nicholas Stoops and Carlos Velez, Jr.
We brought you the shenanigans from West Noble Primary's Field Day for the kindergarten a couple days ago. Pure chaos. Nothing changed for the first graders Friday afternoon as they took to the high school soccer fields for games, popsicles and organized chaos. Always great to see our kids having a blast and enjoying each other's company, and our staff being able to blow off a little steam, as well!
It's been a long and fruitful year, perhaps, for the West Noble Middle School Jr. Master Gardener Club. A total of 15 middle school green thumbs completed the club season and were recognized Thursday at the year-end awards program. Since last September, the students worked through eight chapters and 44 concepts of gardening and horticulture. One of the highlights of their year was getting the hydroponics grow tower to finally take and produce, and it produced in droves from herbs to leafy greens.
A huge thank you to Mrs. Anderson for seeing the kids through on a wonderful club that teaches life lessons in so many ways!
