While Noelle has maintained highest honors since first grade, she also keeps a full schedule both in school and in her outside activities. Noey is in National Junior Honor Society, she is Vice President of the Middle School Student Council, and she is busy with several club memberships. She has been an honors recipient, having most recently taken every award in the seventh grade annual recognition ceremony.

A dance and vocal student for several years, she has performed in several local theaters. Her biggest role to date was as Rhoda Penmark in The Bad Seed. Her most recent performance saw her as Ursula in The Little Mermaid. While she loves both singing and acting, her favorite hobby is writing.

She has written several plays, and she is in the editing stage of her first novel. In her spare time, Noey is knowledgeable on everything from politics to religion. She collects cookbooks, and she loves to create new recipes with her dad. To say she is well rounded is spot on! She coaches her eight year old sister, Annalyse, in theater and voice. The two girls have shared the stage in several local productions at their young ages. Noey has set her sights on being class valedictorian. Noelle's parents are Don and Lisa Spagnolo of Monessen.
