Tennis Teams Raise
$1,000 to Smash Cancer
The girls' tennis tams from Delta and Yorktown high schools met Wednesday (May 9) in the #SmashCancer charity match. Delta won the match 4-1, but the real winner was the fight against cancer because the match resulted in more than $1,000 donated to the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life.
In the photo above, Mr. Tom Devine's young grandson prepares to hit an honorary first serve. Players from both teams wore multi-colored cancer awareness shirts and participated in a pre-match ceremony.

Ball State Shows Students How to Get Head Start
By Katie Clark
Eagle's Eye Online
Thanks to a unique dual credit program offered through Ball State University, high school juniors and seniors can tell their friends that they are also college students. The program is called the High-School-to-College Transition Program for Dual Credit.
This new program provides many benefits for college-seeking high school students, such as enrolling in courses that fulfill high school graduation requirements and earn college credit at the same time.
Students can begin their freshman year of college with several academic credits and the confidence that they can succeed in college.
Nearly 40 courses are offered including anthropology, calculus, communication, history, information, systems, journalism, management, philosophy, political science, and psychology.
Delta currently offers English 103, English 104, Calculus 161, Biology 111, Anatomy/Physiology 201, Physics 110, Physics 12, and World History 150.
Courses emphasize college-level thinking and writing skills, preparing high schoolers for the rigors of the college classroom. Participants have the opportunity of exploring college majors before getting to campus.
Depending on the school’s arrangement with Ball State, students can take courses on site with teachers from their school that are certified to teach at the University level or they can take courses online with university faculty.
Most courses transfer to other Indiana colleges and universities.
Because courses are less expensive, students and their families can lower the cost of their college education.
For more information or to register for a 4 p.m. Eastern time April 5th online webinar about the High-School-to-College Transition Program, visit www.bsu.edu/distance/dualcredit.

The students also got to listen to a doctor discuss how to problem solve involving patient diagnostics.
"It was a great day for the students," said Dr. Brand.
