DELTA ACADEMY
Catching the Dreams of Tomorrow, Preparing Young Women For the 21st Century The Delta Academy was created out of an urgent sense that bold action was needed to save our young females (ages 11-14) from the perils of academic failure, low self-esteem, and crippled futures. Delta Academy provides an opportunity for local Delta chapters to enrich and enhance the education that our young teens receive in public schools across the nation. Specifically, we augment their scholarship in math, science, and technology, their opportunities to provide service in the form of leadership through service learning, and their sisterhood, defined as the cultivation service learning, and their sisterhood, defined as the cultivation and maintenance of relationships. A primary goal of the program is to prepare young girls for full participation as leaders in the 21st Century.
A symbol for the Dr. Betty Shabazz Academy is the Native American Dream Catcher. It is believed to possess the power to capture bad dreams, entangling them in the web, thus allowing good dreams to pass through to the center of the dream hoop into the person’s being.

Delta Academy Orientation
“Catching the dreams of tomorrow” WMAAC kicked off its 2018-2019 Delta Academy year. These young ladies started out by doing an activity on voting rights, while parents were encouraged to exercise their rights. The committee is looking forward to a great time. #EducationalDevelopment #ServingCrittendenCounty
