What is Newspapers in Education

Newspaper in Education is a program that embraces:

• the newspaper industry
• participating school systems
• generous corporate, business organizational and individual sponsors

This partnership allows educators to use newspapers as real-time textbooks to teach:

• Language Arts, Math and Science
• Character Education, Citizenship and Current Events
• Life Skills, Literacy, and Critical Thinking

Through newspaper use in the classroom, students become informed citizens who are aware of local interests, national issues, and international events. Student news-readers develop lifelong habits that serve them long after they leave the classroom to become tomorrow's consumers and workforce.

Support Southwest Iowa schools through the Creston News Advertiser, Newspaper in Education program. The Creston News Advertiser delivers hundreds of newspapers to local classrooms to be used by area teachers. These free papers are paid for and supported by donations from companies and subscribers like you.

The Creston News Advertiser matches your donation, making your money work even harder. Teachers praise the NIE program for its ability to reach students in an enjoyable and informative way that is more interesting than traditional teachings.

Starting school on Aug. 23, or earlier, is a good idea.
I agree, it prevents school from lasting too far into June.
I disagree, it is too early, especially if it starts before the end of the Iowa State Fair.
School should be year-round
