Does Delta News Web list local events and school sports schedules?

Updated

Yes. Delta News Web publishes an Upcoming Events list with specific times and dates, and it also lists school sports contests with opponents and locations. The listings are community-submitted and date-stamped, so they are useful for planning, but you should confirm details with the school or organizing group before relying on them.

What the events list includes

The Upcoming Events section gives each item a start and end time plus a date. Examples from the page include:

  • Our Lady of Sorrows Mass — 5:30–6:30 pm, October 26
  • Delta Christian Center Corporate Prayer Group — 7:00–8:12 pm, October 26
  • AA meeting, DPFL church — 7:30–8:30 pm, October 26
  • Story Hour with Miss Shona — split into two sessions by age: ages 3 to 5 at 10:00–11:00 am, and ages 0 to 3 at 11:15 am–12:15 pm on October 27
  • Stop n Shop Thrift Store — 12:00–6:00 pm, October 28

The page also links to a fuller events page ("More Events") and a submission form ("Submit Events"), so the list you see on the front page is a partial view.

School sports schedules

Sports are listed by team with date, time, level, opponent, and venue. From the page:

Sport Date/Time Level / Opponent Location
Volleyball 26th, 3:30 pm JV vs. Glennallen Delta
Volleyball 26th, 5:00 pm Varsity vs. Glennallen (Senior Night) Delta
Wrestling 30/31 MCCA Anchorage
Hockey 29th First Contest —
Hockey 31st Jumphouse Jamboree, hosted by North Pole Polar Ice
Rifle 30th, 6:30–10:00 am Air Match Delta
Rifle 31st, 11:30 am–6:00 pm Smallbore Match TVSA

Note that some entries are abbreviated (for example, "MCCA" for the wrestling event and no venue for the hockey first contest), and dates appear without a year in the sports block. Treat these as pointers, not final confirmations.

Other school-related content

The same page carries a school lunch menu by weekday (Monday chicken nuggets through Friday cheesy breadsticks, each with sides and milk) and a School News area linking to Delta Elementary, Delta Junior High, Delta High School, Delta Greely School District, and homeschool programs. There is also a photo-of-the-day feature, anniversaries, and classified ads for local employment.

How to use it in practice

  1. Open the site and scan the Upcoming Events block for times; use "More Events" for the full calendar.
  2. Check the sports block for the team you follow, noting that level (JV/V) and venue are given for most entries.
  3. Cross-check anything you plan to attend — a game time, a venue, a mass schedule — against the school or organization's own notice, since community listings can change or be posted with abbreviations.
  4. If you organize an event, the "Submit Events" link is the route to getting it listed.

The main limitation is precision: listings are short-form, some lack a year or full location, and the page mixes recurring items (weekly Mass, story hours) with one-off games. Use it as a first look, then verify.
