May's Spotlight On Success for West Noble revolves around the literacy cadre and how our students are advancing through its teaching. The biggest pull from the two-year adaption of these principles from the IDOE to our West Noble students was an increase of IRead scores by 16 percent, as well as a unilateral K-4 adjustment in common language and shared expectations!
Kudos to our staff in these improvements as we continue to create an environment at West Noble as a great place to learn and grow!

The West Noble FFA is pleased to announce that it will have its greenhouse open to the public this week!
The facility, located behind West Noble High School adjacent to the football parking lot, will be open 3:30-5 p.m. daily until all the plants are gone.

This week was National Teacher's Week. Our gratitude for their care, knowledge, leadership, sacrifice, dedication...the list goes on and on. We love our teachers and all they do for the West Noble community, in and out of the classroom!
Thank you teachers!

Some of the real heroes of our school district are in the nurse's offices, caring for and helping 'nurse' our kids back to health!
We thank our nurses for all of their care, patience and willingness to do some of the true dirty work in our schools!

Come celebrate the brilliant career of our West Noble Elementary principal, Mark Yoder, who is retiring at the end of the school year.

Many years ago, I learned that 'free food is good food'. So today, I am paying it forward for a year's worth of freebies. Take a read on my first-person experience in the chair at the Fairfield Cosmetology Department as a year-long client of West Noble High School senior Melissa Ledesma. She and several of her classmates have been serving the public all school year, and should at least get consideration for you to join them next year!

They are the super heroes who don't wear capes. We salute our School Lunch Super Heroes at our West Noble Schools, thank you for all you do for our students and staffs!

Our April Spotlight On Success at West Noble focuses on West Noble Elementary and its progress made in IRead test scores.
Principal Mark Yoder, along with assistant principal Jennifer Duncan and Brenda Yoder, presented to the WNSC school board the 2026 IRead statistics for WNE and how they correlate to the 2025 results. Among those connections were three videos made by students who made significant improvements from second to third grade, and how some staff members have found positivity in the testing process.
Congrats to principal Yoder, his staff and students for making positive strides and continuing West Noble to be a great place to learn and grow!

We appreciate our librarians at West Noble, and the work they do to keep our minds moving, our curiosity peaking, and our knowledge expanding.
Thank you, librarians!
Thank you, librarians!

They aren't in the classroom today, so to speak, but they are vital to how our classrooms function. And they are a Godsend to our teachers who have the opportunity to work with them.
Thank you, paraprofessionals!

They put in the miles on their feet, so the bus put in some miles on the tires.
West Noble Elementary's Walking Club had it's 75-mile achievers on the bus this morning for Garrett and the JAM Center for a (mostly) swim party!
It's the annual reward for the Walking Club milestone, with the JAM Center hosting swimming, gym time, and more swimming, along with time for lunch. As you may deduce from the photos, guess where the bulk majority of the time was spent today...

A new positive initiative West Noble is putting into practice is something superintendent Dr. Lowe is endorsing as "Spotlight on Success". This recognizes entities of our school corporation who are going above and beyond to make West Noble a great place to learn and grow. This actually began in January in highlighting Hank Willems and the Work Based Learning program, and in February with our Student Resource Officers Chris Shearer and Grant Moser.
This past Monday at the school board meeting, the Technology Department for West Noble School Corporation was the Spotlight, showcasing not only the roles of the five whom work within, but some of the programs and perks that help our students and staff function at a high level, in and out of the classroom. Congrats to director Mike Burke and his staff on being March's Spotlight on Success!

West Noble students hit the road to Allen County this week.
Sra. Bartlett's high school Spanish classes had the chance to see an authentic Flamenco dance performance at the Presbyterian Theater in downtown Fort Wayne. Meanwhile, the fourth graders visited the Embassy Theater in just down the road in Fort Wayne to take in the Taiko Project, a Japanese-American drum ensemble, which allowed some of West Noble's students and staff to actually partake in the action onstage.
West Noble will have a couple additional stops in Fort Wayne in the coming week, stay tuned!

West Noble Elementary's second grade classes took a packed house Tuesday night to the Wacky, Wacky West for its spring concert and art show.
The hallways were filled with artwork representing pieces influenced by famous creators Jackson Pollock, Paul Klee and Claude Monet, which led into the gymnasium, where students were dressed in western wear. An eight-song set began with "Whacky Whacky West" and concluded with a fair wave for "Happy Trails".
Kudos once again to WNE art instructor Tammy Bieberich and music instructor Hayley Hostetler for their dedication and guidance to yet another spectacular production! Great work, everyone!
