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!

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.

This course is designed for beginners who are interested in the art of acting, but may also be beneficial to participants who have never attempted acting or done plays. The process will be informative, enlightening and most importantly; fun.

In an environment that will embrace and cultivate the creative exploration of Theatre, we will concentrate on the application of developing a character using a wide array of techniques and means that will include cold readings, premising, character analysis and motivation, as well as imagination, emotion and affective memory; based on the teachings of Konstantin Stanislavski...co-founder of the Moscow Art Theatre.

Partners will be assigned a character in a scene. The scene will be rehearsed and workshopped applying the above mentioned processes, culminating in a performance at the following week's session, where the process will begin again with new partners and scenes. On the night of the last class, students will put on a performance of select scenes and showcase the results of their creative expression and personal growth for family and friends.

*There will be no class on April 23rd.
