East Noble School Corporation

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.

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.

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!

A big thank you goes to Purdue Extension Noble County for supporting the event and helping students build skills in food preparation, teamwork, and communication.
