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!
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.
It's graduation season and West Noble Elementary celebrated it's three students from Mrs. Nelson's class who are moving to the middle school next year. A room full of supporters saw Valentin Calderon, Dimitri Gomez and Brayden Huffine get their certificates in a short ceremony Thursday afternoon. All three were praised for their hard work, their positive attitudes and improved work in the classroom.
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.

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 was a great day to be outside in any capacity. Thanks to WNE's Dolores Williams for sending over these pics of the elementary kids enjoying recess today!
Casey Kasem would approve of Tuesday night's 'Music Through The Decades' program at West Noble Elementary. From Bill Haley to the Beatles to Hilary Duff to Dua Lipa, the fourth graders performed through the generations in a kaleidoscope of song styles and movements. Music teacher Mrs. Hostetler directed the eight-song performance in front of a standing room only audience. The crowd also had the opportunity to take in the art gallery led by teacher Mrs, Bieberich, the hallways lined with works representing Georgia O'Keefe to clay baby dragons.
Wrapping up a busy week is a photo set from day two of the West Noble Elementary's Community Walk through downtown Ligonier. Another day of learning, another opportunity to get some ice cream from La Michoacana.
Prom is just around the corner, and West Noble has announced its court for the 2025 event.
Our Queen court are, in the photo from left, Stefany Dominguez, Mia Becker and Ava Green. The King court are Chris Silva, Gavin Baxter and Drew Burns.
West Noble's prom will take place Saturday, May 10, beginning with the Grand March at the HS at 4 p.m., followed by the formal event at 7 p.m. at the Mid America Windmill Museum in Kendallville.
Finally, second graders from West Noble Elementary took to the streets of Ligonier for their Community Walk. Making stops in and around locations in town, it was hands-on at its finest as the kids could see and learn directly from the businesses and people who run them. The WNE classes will also be out and about again tomorrow morning.
Taking advantage of a picture perfect day, Bailey Showalter and a host of sixth graders from West Noble Middle School continued a tradition of service.
Honoring some of the West Noble community that has passed on, the current students cleaned up and beautified the West Noble Memorial Garden on the WNMS campus. Pulling weeds, trimming bushes, planting flowers, spreading mulch and general maintenance, the Garden looks as good as it ever has.
In its 19th year, the Memorial Garden commemorates West Noble community members that have passed away, but also individuals who have served major roles in the fabric of the community as well.
The Garden is a self-funding project and donations are accepted and appreciated. If you wish to contribute to the West Noble Memorial Garden please contact West Noble Middle School at (260) 894-3191.
Memorial Garden Commemorative brick orders may be placed at any time as this is an ongoing project. Brick orders will be held until 10 or more bricks are ordered.
