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.
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.

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:

While not outdoors, Turning Point students were looking outside their comfort zones Thursday.
During Family Time, students who don't use cursive as a normal form of writing learned to incorporate the style into signatures, as well as writing letters to their future selves (to open one year from now). Those letters included goals, and others wrote out Mother's Day cards.
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.
