Stony Creek second graders have the answers . . .

Mayor Ditslear discusses the project proposals with student teams.

Stony Creek Elementary second graders have been working for weeks to answer the question “what does Noblesville need?”

Students received the directive from Mayor Ditslear and have been conducting research, including a field trip to downtown Noblesville, to develop their responses.

They recently presented their ideas to the Mayor, as well as other city and school leadership.

Just some of the ideas the students developed include an anti-littering initiative, candy store, dog camp, kids’ bank, community chalk board, bike share program and combination Mexican/Chinese restaurant.

The activity was an example of Noblesville Schools’ MillerShift innovative teaching and learning culture, designed to best prepare students for the future.
