Calling ALL Noble Middle School Veterans!
Calling All Veterans,
On Friday, November 8th we will be "Honoring Our Veterans." We have the following planned:
- The Pledge of Allegiance
- The National Anthem
- Sharing of experiences in classrooms from 8:35 -9:36
- Veterans Walk of Honor through the halls of Noble Middle
- Continental Breakfast in the Media Center 9:40 - 10:46
We have identified 51 families that have Veteran members. It would be so nice if the Veterans in these families came out to help us celebrate them. If you would like to participate please RSVP Sharon Leinwand (sharon.leinwand@nhcs.net) by Friday, November 1st. This will help us in determining how much food we will need for our Continental Breakfast. Also, please consider briefly sharing your experiences serving in the Military with our students. We are asking that speakers speak no more than 15 minutes in a class. We have 20 classes that we are trying to find speakers for.
Thanks for your time and consideration!
Dr. Brown
If you are willing to share your experience serving our country with 6th, 7th, and 8th graders, please email Sharon Leinwand at sharon.leinwand@nhcs.net. We have 24 classrooms that would benefit from hearing your experiences and what it meant to serve our Nation.
We look forward to celebrating our great Veterans!

Attn Parents:
Over the past few weeks, we have observed incidents where some boys have been "pantsing" others as a joke. Please be aware that this behavior is not viewed as humorous and is considered a form of bullying. It is essential for students to understand that this conduct is unacceptable and must cease immediately.
Students who engage in this behavior may face disciplinary actions, including In-School Suspension or, in more serious cases, Out-of-School Suspension. We ask for your support in discussing with your child the inappropriateness of such actions and the importance of respecting their peers.
Thank you for your assistance in maintaining a safe and respectful environment for all students.
Attn 8th grade Parents:
Nov 7 - Ms. Jean Hall (Supervisor of Innovative and Special Programs) will visit Noble with information about Non-Traditional High school options and NHCS Signature Programs. She will set up information booths for students to visit during their elective time.
Nov 12-15 Ms. Walker will visit 8th grade classrooms to share additional information about application processes and deadlines.
Please contact shanda.walker@nhcs.net for questions
