Schools rewarded for coin harvest, class raises most for third time

As a reward for the work done in its annual coin harvest drive each fall, City of Noblesville representatives have been thanking elementary school benefactors within the Noblesville Schools district in a special way – with a pizza party with the mayor for the winningest classrooms at each school.

The beneficiaries to the drive include the Noblesville Youth Assistance Program, Noblesville Firefighters Christmas Food and Toy Drive and Noblesville Young Life.

This year, the district’s seven elementary schools raised $3,678. Hazel Dell Elementary raised the most with $186.03, but it was Tania Stultz’s fifth-grade class at Noble Crossing Elementary – which came in second place within the district raising $169.33 – that stood out.

This year marks Stultz’s third year of her classroom raising the most at Noble Crossing.

“This class is unique. It was the second highest amount raised (within the district) with $170, but this teacher has won (at Noble Crossing) three times in a row, and she’s the only teacher at Noblesville Schools to win three times in a row,” said Marnie Cooke, communications director for Noblesville Schools. “It’s just literally asking the kids to bring in and collect loose change, and it really adds up to that much.”

With 25 students in her class, Stultz credits the their competitiveness for the success.

“I talk to the kids about what we’re doing and how important it is, then they just kind of get competitive,” said Stultz, who has worked at Noblesville Schools for 17 years. “The first year is because it was the first year, and (the students) were excited about the idea of having pizza with the mayor. Ever since then, the following classes, once they know that the class before them won, they want to win. This year, they didn’t want to be the first to lose, so it’s kind of kicked in their competitive juices.”
