North Wood High School to offer ACP courses The Wa-Nee school board has approved Advance College Project (ACP) courses at North Wood High School beginning in August. ACP is a partnership program between Indiana University and participating high schools in Indiana, Ohio and Michigan. It offers college credit to qualified high school seniors who enroll in IU general education courses offered at their local high schools during the regular school day and taught by certified high school teachers who hold adjunct lecturer status with Indiana University. ACP is for high school students, generally juniors and seniors, who have adequate preparation and desire more advanced work. ACP is not a gifted and talented program; courses are actual college courses intended to allow students to engage in college level work for college credit. ACP courses are designed for students who have a solid academic foundation, whose interests can be furthered by acquiring college credit before high school graduation and who make a serious commitment to completing the course successfully. ACP courses allow students to fulfill requirements for high school graduation and for college admission while beginning a college transcript. The same general standards that apply for admission to IU apply to students seeking to enroll in ACP courses; .however, student participation in ACP courses does not constitute admission to lU. Enrollment in an ACP course establishes a permanent record with IU that will generate an official student transcript of credits earned. If a student attends lU, he/she needs to do nothing to assure that ACP courses are applied at lU. However, if a student plans to attend another college or university, he/she will need to request an IU transcript to be sent to that institution to receive credit for the courses taken through ACP. ACP courses transfer to many colleges and universities if a grade of "C" or better is achieved; however, IU cannot guarantee the transferability of its course credit. Only the college or university in which a student plans to enroll can decide whether credit is transferable. Through ACP students can get full college credits at a savings compared to standard on-campus rates. ACP students who meet eligibility requirements of the National School Lunch Program also qualify for fee remission. North Wood High School plans to offer the following ACP courses during the 2009-10 school year: ACP English Comp, ACP English Literature, ACP Speech, ACP Economics, ACP Spanish 4 and ACP German. Advance Life Science has been offered for several years and students can earn Purdue University credit and high school credit for this course.

Handmade quilt to be raffled off at Maple Syrup festival Wakarusa, Indiana April 2, 2009; The Wakarusa Historical Society is quilting together a very special hand-made quilt at the 2009 Maple Syrup Festival to generate much needed funds for the Wakarusa Historical Museum. The quilt is being made from panels cross-stitched by the late Jay Klein, who after his retirement took up the hobby of cross-stitching and quilting and became a master. He and his wife, Historical Museum Director Helen Klein, would both quilt the blankets made with Jay's hand-work themselves. "Each of their eight grandchildren has an original quilt and they have probably made 20 all together," Helen said. You can have a hand in the project. The cross-stitched panels have been pieced by Barb and Dan Duesler and the quilt will be displayed and ready for quilting in the Larimer Furniture store during the Maple Syrup Festival. Everyone is welcome to sit and quilt awhile. The quilters at Miller's Merry Manor Assisted Living will finish what does not get completed during the festival weekend. The grand drawing for the quilt will be Sunday, Sept. 20 at 3 p.m. at the Historic Museum along with an ice cream social and entertainment. The funds raised will benefit the Historical Museum of Wakarusa who is raising monies to construct a dimatized building to house their newly acquired Bird's Eye View Museum display. Tickets are $5 each or three for $lO. For more information or to make a donation contact Helen Klein at 862-4407.

Woodview math project ‘adds up’ to giving

Nappanee Childhood cancer doesn't care that the economy is down. Kids are still getting sick. However, Woodview students are doing their part to make sure that every child struck with a catastrophic disease can continue to get the best care in the world at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. St. Jude is known worldwide for improving treatment and saving lives. They are also well known for being one of the few hospitals that never turns a child away for inability to pay. Since it takes approximately a million dollars a day to keep the hospital doors open it is up to caring citizens to help raise funds so the children can get top-notch treatment and the research can continue. Woodview students participated in their thirdannual St. Jude Math-A-Thon in March and raised $4,800 for the hospital. This brings Woodview’s total contribution to the kids of St. Jude over the last three years to approximately $22,000. "We would like to thank the Woodview
