East Noble School Corporation

Over the past few weeks, Mrs. Fromholz’s Animal Science 1 class at East Noble High School has been actively engaged in hands-on learning. Students practiced safe and appropriate animal handling techniques, explored and compared the digestive systems of frogs, pigs, and rodents, and observed how similar functions can have different structures across species. The class also participated in a “guess the gut” activity, using mystery boxes to simulate the four compartments of a ruminant stomach and apply their understanding of animal digestion. These activities helped reinforce key concepts of animal husbandry through interactive learning.

East Noble School Corporation will be CLOSED today. It will be a Virtual Learning Day w/lessons delivered LIVE at scheduled times.

East Noble School Corporation is on a two-hour delay today.

Due to deteriorating weather conditions, all East Noble after school events and extracurricular activities have been cancelled for this evening. Again, there will be no after school events, practices or extracurricular activities tonight.

This morning, East Noble High School had the pleasure of welcoming Julian Bliss, one of the top clarinet players in the world. He has performed for high-profile figures, including the Queen of England at just 10 years old. Julian spoke with Concert and Jazz Band students about his musical journey and shared valuable insights and pointers to help them grow as musicians. We would like to thank Julian Bliss and Sweetwater Band & Orchestra for making this incredible opportunity possible.

Avilla Elementary School fourth graders had the pleasure of being visited by Kendallville native and retired teacher Trevor Tipton today. He shared his impressive collection of Native American artifacts while teaching students about their origins, how they were made, and how Native Americans lived and survived. Mr. Tipton also discussed important battles and historical areas surrounding the Kendallville region. Students enjoyed a unique, hands-on learning experience by getting an up-close look at several of the artifacts.

This morning, holiday cheer was in full swing at Wayne Center Elementary School. Staff members enjoyed festive holiday tunes as a cart led by Principal Amber Lanning and Dean of Students Angela Berwick rolled through, offering cozy, fuzzy socks to match the theme, “You Rock Your Socks Off!” This marked the first day of a weeklong celebration showing appreciation for the entire Wayne Center staff, leading up to a special gift just before Christmas Break.

Students from all East Noble schools gathered at East Noble Academy alongside members of the Central Office administration for the annual Student Voice event on this morning. This meaningful gathering gives students from elementary, middle, and high school the opportunity to share openly about what is working well in their schools and what could be improved. It serves as an important platform for building communication and collaboration between students and administrators.

South Side Elementary’s 1st, 3rd, and 5th graders brought holiday cheer to their Winter Program last evening. The cafeteria/gym was filled with joyful melodies as students shared festive songs with family and friends. Their performances captured the magic of the season, and they ended the night by leading the audience in a heartwarming rendition of “We Wish You a Merry Christmas.”

Yesterday was an exciting day at East Noble High School as the Show Choir hosted its Young Performers Camp. Students from Avilla Elementary School, North Side Elementary, Rome City Elementary, South Side Elementary, Wayne Center Elementary School, and East Noble Middle School, grades 2nd through 8th, spent time learning from the talented Show Choir team as they prepared for a special performance for their parents. The evening showcase highlighted all they had learned and offered a glimpse of the opportunities awaiting them in high school. It was a wonderful event that celebrated creativity, teamwork, and the joy of performing. A big thank you goes out to the dedicated Show Choir members and staff who made the camp such a success!
