🎒📚 A little bag. A big beginning! 💛

For more than 20 years, the NACE Kindergarten Book Bag Project has been helping incoming kindergarteners start their school journey with a little extra excitement for learning! Each year, our amazing volunteers put together book bags filled with fun activities, literacy resources, school supplies, and goodies for children and their families.

This year, we're growing the project even more by creating pencil roll cases for our incoming Pre-K students! ✏️🖍️

This special project is only possible because of the generosity of our community. A huge THANK YOU to our local supporters, including Kennebunk Savings and Hannaford Supermarkets, as well as our wonderful volunteer sewers who give their time and talents to make these bags possible. ❤️

Want to be part of the project? Volunteer sewing begins January 26, 2027! Visit our website to sign up and save your spot.

Together, we're putting books, creativity, and a love of learning into the hands of our youngest learners. 📖✨

🎉 Feel-Good Friday: Celebrating Community! 🧵🎂

Welcome to Feel-Good Friday with Noble Adult Ed! — a new series celebrating the moments, classes, events, and, most importantly, the people who make our community so special.

We’re kicking things off with a little birthday love! 🎉💐

This week our summer Sew-cial Club came together to celebrate one of their fellow sewing ladies, proving that sometimes the best part of taking a class isn’t just what you learn — it’s the people you meet along the way. 🧵🪡

So, from all of us at Noble Adult Ed, happy birthday, Betsy! Here’s to friendship, creativity, laughter, and another trip around the sun! We hope your day was filled with all the warmth, laughter, and friendship you bring to those around you. 💕🎂

And here’s to all of the wonderful people who make Noble Adult Ed more than just a place to take a class — you make it a community. ❤️

Yesterday, we had the chance to celebrate a very special milestone - Lisa's retirement after 20 years in adult education!

Over the past two decades, Lisa has been an important part of the Noble Adult & Community Education family, making a difference in the lives of so many students, instructors, and colleagues. Her kindness, dedication, and support have left a lasting impact, and she will certainly be missed.

To help send her off, our Summer Art Journaling class created a one-of-a-kind bouquet of artistic flowers, with each student designing their own unique bloom to come together as a beautiful collaborative piece. It was a wonderful surprise and a meaningful way to celebrate everything Lisa has meant to our program.

Please join us in thanking Lisa for 20 amazing years and wishing her all the best as she begins this exciting new chapter. Happy Retirement, Lisa! 💙🎉
