Bringing Community Together, One Step At A Time

Since 2001, we have opened our doors to welcome community members to walk our multiple indoor and outdoor walking routes throughout the Noble High School property. Indoor routes range from 1/3 to 1/2 mile. If you’re up for a challenge, you have the option of including stairs in your workout. The outdoor routes are about a mile in distance. This is a great way to get in some exercise, especially during the cold New England months. Bring a friend or come as a family. All are welcome! Not to mention, joining is FREE!

To join, just drop by the main office to sign in and pick up a name tag. When you're done, you just sign out and drop off your name tag. Join the fun and become a Noble Strider!

**IF you are thinking of walking during one of the schools vacation weeks, please call the office ahead of time to make sure Striders will be taking place.

Every girl deserves at least one dress. Since October 2009, "Dress A Girl Around The World" has reached over 81 countries with a recorded number of over one million dresses delivered to girls in need around the world. Recently, we spoke with the Maine DAG Ambassador, Jane, who is in need of help with sewing menstral pads and dresses for girls in need.

We will be holding 9 sewing dates for those who are interested in volunteering their time to sew. You can stay the whole time or for a few hours; any help is appreciated. If there are more requests for sewing days, we will update that information on our website and social media. Feel free to bring a lunch with you; the sewing room at NACE has a refrigerator you can keep your food/drinks in.

What’s all the ‘buzz’ about Beekeeping?

Have you ever wondered what it takes to keep honey bees? Join NACE as we welcome Peggy McLaughlin to our program for an introduction to beekeeping class. In this five-night class Peggy will help teach you the basics of hive setup, bee biology, seasonal care, and harvesting honey. We will also welcome a State Apiarist from the Department of Agriculture one evening to give a presentation on the best beekeeping practices, colony, management, and hive registration license. Whether you're considering your first hive or simply want to learn more about these amazing pollinators and the roles that bees play in our ecosystem, this class is a great place to start!

Please purchase The Beekeeper's Handbook, 5th edition by Dianna Sammataro and Alphonse Avitabile before the first class. It can be purchased on Amazon.

From two of Rob’s books, you can experience a public paranormal investigation at the Hunt Memorial Library in Nashua, NH with Rob and Monique Toosoon. Their findings revealed three ghosts that were not associated with the building but chose the building as their residence. Together with other paranormal professionals and members of the public they uncovered a haunted secret love, illicit trysts, a ghostly teenage accident victim and haunted paintings. 

In the Ghosts of Linville Manor – Maryland’s Most Haunted House, Rob’s investigation revealed the identities of several ghosts, including one who remains there due to being unjustly accused. This book details that investigation, provides a glimpse of the home's past, and shares many of the supernatural interactions people have experienced.

Get ready for a cozy, creative adventure in this beginner‑friendly crochet class! No experience needed— just bring your enthusiasm and a willingness to try something new. Over four weeks, we’ll stitch our way through four adorable projects, each designed to build confidence and spark joy.

”Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards” - Soren Kierkergarrd

Evolutionary Astrology is based on the premise that a soul lives many lifetimes, and suggests your birth chart may provide hidden clues into your multi-life journey. In this workshop we will unpack themes that astrology suggests may have been relevant in past lives as well as themes that may provide opportunities for your personal growth and evolution.

There are no prerequisites for the class. Participants are encouraged to email their birth information (date, place, time) to the instructor, Rob at rob@innercenterastrology.com, prior to the start of the class. He will provide a copy of your birth chart in class. It would be optimal to have your exact birth time available (documented on your birth certificate) but is not necessary.

Minimum: 4   |   Maximum: 10+
