Noble PTA Newsletter

Thank you to those that have already donated to the Eagle Pride Fund this year. We have received $625 of our $5,000 goal!!!

Eagle Pride Fund is a direct donation program of MCS Noble PTA - 100% of your dollars go to school funding. This is the backbone of the PTA budget. Eagle Pride provides incredible support for the students & staff of Noble, yet avoids direct selling fundraising programs!

New for this year...YOU choose what your donation supports!!

How do you want to improve/enhance Noble? Exterior spruce up? Help sponsor clubs? Show the staff extra love? Maybe even a BIG ticket wishlist item such as a picnic table or second water filtration system? It's up to YOU!

Need a personal or business tax benefit? This is one possible way!!

For more info, please email mcsnobleptaeaglepride@gmail.com.

And the winner is...

Amy Reamer (student, Jackson Reamer) is the winner of the beach cruiser, courtesy of Two Wheeler Dealer!

Kimberley Graham Hines (student, Braelyn Pridgen) and Kristin Shoffner (student, Kaitlyn Shoffner) are winners of Retroscape - Gaming & Soda Lounge play passes!

Thank you to our generous donors and to everyone who joined during Noble's PTA Membership Drive! For the first time, we reached our membership goal of 300 and beyond!

Thank you to Emily, Makenna & staff at Krispy Kreme Doughnuts for sponsoring the contest and thanks to everyone who joined the PTA! Homeroom winners with the most PTA memberships!

Do you have a free hour during the school day? Could you support our students and staff by serving as an adult role model and extra set of eyes in the halls?

Thanks to all who have participated in Noble's EagleWATCH program! We love seeing families serve as positive role models for our students! EagleWATCH is a family & community engagement educational initiative. We invite dads/moms, aunts/uncles, grandparents, too! The goals of EagleWATCH are:

1) To provide positive adult role models for students, demonstrating by their presence that education is important.

2) To provide extra sets of eyes and ears to enhance school security and reduce bullying.

Administration has indicated a greater need for EagleWatch members during the lunch block hours beginning at 10:50am, but we're always happy to have you whenever you have availability!

Sign up for an hourly slot below. Weekly slots are encouraged, not mandatory. Help when you can!
