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.

Self care is as easy as PIES!

$50

with Annette Hurman, Wells-Ogunquit Adult Community Education

Self‑care doesn’t have to be complicated — it can be as easy as P.I.E.S.$50pp    This course introduces a practical, holistic approach to personal well‑being through four core dimensions: Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, and Social/Spiritual care. Designed for busy people who want meaningful change without overwhelm, the program blends reflection, science‑based strategies, and real‑world application.

Participants will learn how to recognize their needs, build sustainable habits, and create a personalized self‑care plan that supports resilience, balance, and overall quality of life. Through interactive activities, guided exercises, and supportive discussion, learners will explore how small, intentional actions can lead to lasting improvement in health, mood, and daily functioning.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

Understand the P.I.E.S. framework and how each dimension contributes to well‑being

Identify personal strengths and gaps in their current self‑care practices

Develop simple, realistic routines that fit their lifestyle

Use practical tools to manage stress, boost energy, and maintain emotional balance

Build healthy, meaningful connections that support long‑term wellness

This course is ideal for anyone seeking a grounded, approachable path to self‑care — whether you’re just beginning your wellness journey or looking to refresh your habits with a more intentional, whole‑person approach.
