The Adult Fitness Program is a program at Delta High School that allows
anyone from the community to use the facilities at the high school for
recreation and exercise at no cost. A large portion of people in the area
surrounding Delta have no kids currently enrolled in the school, yet they still
pay property tax, a tax used to fund the school. These members of the
community should be able to use the facilities, and The Adult Fitness Program
makes this possible. On top of this, The Adult Fitness Program makes it
easier for people of all ages to stay fit and live healthier lives.
Currently, Delta High School is the only high school in the area that offers a
program like this.

The Adult Fitness Program,
led by Media Specialist, Mrs. Amy Lewman, and Physical Education
Teacher, Mr. Chuck DeNeal, offers a wide range of activities including
basketball, ping pong, weight lifting, swimming, and even aerobics. It
started in the Spring of 2007, and since its conception, has grown to average
100 participants from the community, with around 10 to 20 new members, every
week. It runs from early September to late April and is held around six
times a month. Just recently, a weekly fitness class being offered by The Fisher
Institute of Wellness & Gerontology at Ball State University was added to the
program. |
