Congratulations to Alden Newby and Connor Lehman for receiving a work ethic award from Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb. The award recognizes outstanding achievements, the ability to persevere through challenges, positive attitude, service to others, and commitment to school and community.

The students are part of the Noblesville Schools Limitless program for young adults with special needs and they earned over 200 hours of work training with Wyndham Hotel, Embassy Suites, Fueled for School, Noble Cause Food Pantry, Salvation Army, and Perkins Restaurant.

Limitless students lobbied state representatives, the Indiana Department of Education, and the Indiana Department of Workforce Development to have their work training efforts be recognized. These students are the first to receive the Governor’s Work Ethic Certificate and thanks to their efforts future Limitless students will also now qualify for consideration.

The students were recognized at a class celebration with parents, school leaders, and state government representatives.
