Noblesville Fire Department and Police Department staff joined Noble Crossing students for lunch Friday as part of Noblesville Schools’ Hungry, Hungry Heroes program. The program invites first responders to a free monthly lunch with students at all 10 of the district’s schools and is funded through a grant from the Noblesville Schools Education Foundation. The goal of the program is to honor first responders while offering students more opportunities to interact with important role models, leading to safer and more positive school environments.
