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!

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.

We do ask volunteers to please register for the days they wish to come in and sew to be sure the sewing room and supplies are all ready.

Every sewist knows what it’s like to cut their fabric on the floor and then sew at the kitchen table. We also know it’s a bit lonely and sometimes frustrating to find help when we are stuck on a particularly baffling pattern instruction. Whether you’re trying to complete unfinished projects or start new ones, Nancy will be on hand to guide you through the difficult spots. Bring your sewing machine and supplies, or do hand work.

NACE has irons, ironing boards, cutting mats, and rulers available to use during class time. If you need to borrow a sewing machine, please let us know ahead of the class.

Senior Rate (65+) is $45. Please call or stop by the office to register.

Maine’s compassionate end-of-life care option is the subject of a great deal of confusion and false information. Although Maine’s Death with Dignity Act has been in place since September 2019, most patients and medical personnel are still unaware of it. Learn how to talk about it with your doctor, how to comply with the law or how to help a family member who might qualify.

NACE is excited to welcome author Author Ash to our Annual Family Literacy Pajama Party! Wear your PJs and bring the whole family to this FREE, fun-filled event that will include coloring, a fun craft, and a reading of Ash’s book “The Ordinary Snowflake!"

The PJ Party will be held at the Paul Johnson Library located within Noble High School.

Meet Author Ash!
Ashlee, aka Author Ash is an award-winning children’s book author of many fun, interactive, and engaging picture books! As a former kindergarten teacher who continues to teach part-time in her town’s elementary school, she loves to combine her love for literacy and children through writing stories that both touch on important topics in childhood and are FUN! She lives in our district (Lebanon) with her husband, Nate, and two children, Josh and Avery. Her love for children’s literature started early through her mother, who also taught in our district for over 20 years! She remembers the magic of read-alouds and the creativity it sparked. She then shared that passion with her own children and later with her students. Through her books, she hopes to share the magic, creativity, and FUN of children’s literature with others.
