East Noble Community News

Vision: Inspiring students to be life-long learners and positive, contributing members of their community.

Mission: INSPIRING excellence by providing the foundation where students collaborate, think critically, and problem solve through ENGAGING opportunities that EMPOWER them to pursue their passions and life-long success

At East Noble, our foremost priority is to cultivate a safe and welcoming environment conducive to learning, where every student feels valued and supported. We are committed to fostering positive relationships with our staff and students and facilitating academic growth for all.

In line with our commitment to safety, we have implemented various tools to ensure that incidents of misconduct by staff or students are promptly addressed. One such tool is the #saysomething initiative, which allows individuals to report concerns anonymously if they wish to do so. This provides an avenue for students and staff to speak up without fear of retaliation. Students and parents can reach out directly to central office, school administrators, counselors, or trusted teachers. We also encourage the utilization of resources such as phone calls, or dedicated email addresses for reporting purposes to school administration.

When serious concerns arise, we urge individuals to report them as soon as possible. Timely reporting enables us to take swift and appropriate action to address any issues and ensure the safety of all members of the East Noble School Corporation community. Above all, safety is paramount, and we remain dedicated to providing a secure learning environment where every student can thrive. Together, we will continue to prioritize the well-being of our students and uphold the values of East Noble School Corporation.

We are here to serve you and are willing to listen to any concerns you may have.

Thank you for choosing East Noble!

Dr. Teresa Gremaux, Superintendent

This past Friday evening, the PTO at South Side Elementary School hosted their Sweetheart Social Dance. It was a fun time full of dancing, punch, and cookies. The students loved bringing their special family member to have a fun evening. The PTO did a fantastic job providing a memorable night for everyone!

February 15th of every year is National School Resource Officer Appreciation Day. We would like to celebrate and thank the tremendous SRO staff of Office Shartzer, Officer Beall, and newly inducted Officer Kline. These law enforcement officers fill a three-part role, serving as informal mentors or counselors, law educators, and law enforcement officers to support the students and communities they serve. They are valuable and essential members of the education community who deserve unwavering respect and support from the public in the pursuit of keeping our schools and students safe. Thank you all for keeping Avilla Elementary School, North Side Elementary, South Side Elementary, Rome City Elementary, Wayne Center Elementary School, East Noble Middle School, and East Noble High School a safe place for the students, staff, and the community.

This past Wednesday, Kindergartners from South Side Elementary really enjoyed some sweet Valentines Day treats in their classroom! All the students were excited to share with each other what they received.

There was a whole lot of love spread at East Noble Middle School this past Wednesday as Billy Wonka was back with his companion. Together, they brought happiness on Valentines Day to all Middle School staff members as they had a chance to win a Golden Ticket. By selecting from a various number of treats they had a chance to receive a prize. It was a great way to end their day and show their love and appreciation for all the amazing staff members at the middle school and what they do for all the students.

We are thrilled to welcome our new SRO to East Noble School Corporation, Officer Kline and his K9 companion Bobi. We are excited to have both of them be a part of a great school corporation and help continue to keep our schools a fun and safe place for our students to learn. Below is a little write up from Officer Kline and Bobi just telling a little about them both.

I graduated from East Noble in 2003 and the University of Southern Indiana in 2008. Since 2014, I have been working at the Kendallville Police Department. You might have seen me around before; I’ve served as a member of the Kendallville Honor Guard for a while.

In addition to my job, I volunteer with the Big Brother Big Sister reading program and Real Men Read at Avilla Elementary. I have been happily married to my wife Stacey for over ten years, and we have a daughter who currently attends Avilla. In my spare time, I enjoy working on home improvement, landscaping projects, and doing woodworking. I'm a passionate Notre Dame and Bears fan – there's always next year, boys!

Bobi (Pronounced BOH-BEE)

Bobi was born Poland, and he is 6 years old. Bobi began his law enforcement career in 2020. Bobi is a very loving K9 and enjoys giving hugs and getting attention from anyone that is willing to pet him. Bobi enjoys spending his free time playing fetch and chewing on his chew toys.

"Mrs. Wilhelm is a great kindergarten teacher! She faces her daily challenges head on and is willing to help anyone else with their questions or concerns. Thank you, Mrs. Wilhelm! We appreciate you very much!"

I have been with East Noble for 22 years. I have only taught Kindergarten at South Side Elementary. I have been married for 38 1/2 years to my husband Jeff. I have two grown daughters and five wonderful grandchildren. I also enjoy attending a variety of extracurricular activities in support of my grandchildren. When I am not with my family, I enjoy cooking and grilling. I also love to read, listen to music, ride my bike, and be active in my church.
