PTO Enrichment at Noble Crossing Through your generous donations, the PTO is able to fund enrichment programs for each grade level at Noble Crossing. Please view the linked slide show below to see some of those programs in action. During the 23/24 school year the PTO funded a day of bubble science for Kindergarten, Indiana Wild animal presentations for 1st grade, a visit from the Indianapolis Opera for 2nd graders, Frog Economics hands on learning experience for our 3rd graders, two historical character presentations for 4th graders and a virtual author visit for our 5th grade classes. We're looking forward to another great year of enrichment programs at NCES!
