Students received the directive from Mayor John Ditslear and have been conducting research, including a field trip to downtown Noblesville and meetings with community leaders, to develop their responses.
They recently presented their ideas to the mayor as well as to other city and school leadership.
Some of the ideas the students developed included a “care crew” to pick up trash, dog and river front parks, a roller skating rink, a food pantry, a design-your-own dessert café, robot and toy shops, community fountains and more.
The activity was an example of Noblesville Schools’ MillerShift innovative teaching and learning culture, designed to challenge students’ thinking and best prepare students for the future.
