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 adult education 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!

Driver's Ed Scholarship Donation
with Julie Hart, MSAD#44 Adult & Continuing Education

Living in our beautiful rural community has many wonderful advantages. However, driving can be a challenge for many familes juggling work and their children's school and sport schedules. Having an extra driver in the family can make such a difference for so many families in our area. We work with Roy's Driver and Rider Education to ensure that the students in our community recieve quality driver's education, preparing them to be a safe, defensive driver once they get behind the wheel. For many of these families, having an additional driver is the benefit but, the tuition for driver's education can be a challenge. MSAD#44 Adult and Community Education has scholarships available to students through grants and donations from community members like you. If you and your student would like more information on the driver's ed scholarship, please contact the Adult Education Director Julie Hart at adulted@sad44.org Thank you!

Conquer Your Mac Photos App: Edit Your Images - Online
with Edward Brazee, Old Orchard Beach/Saco Adult Education

Overexposed image? No problem–adjust the exposure in editing mode. Wish your photo could be black and white instead of color? Choose a filter and change the ambiance of your image. Does the main object of your picture seem lost among extraneous details? Use the cropping feature to focus the viewer’s eye on the most important part of the image. These examples are just a few of the many ways you can turn an average image into something special. Have fun editing your pictures with the many options in your Mac’s Photos app.
Please have a strong internet connection and a Mac computer, iPad, or iPhone to access videos and articles (as courses are Mac-based).
