Welcome!
Welcome to the News & Messenger Newspapers in Education homepage.

Get Involved!
Teachers order classroom sets of newspapers on days of their choice. They sign up for teaching materials that meet their educational objectives. Every day's newspaper contains stories and information that lend themselves to lessons for all grade levels and subjects. Workshops provide teachers with training in various methods of using the newspaper as an educational resource, at the same time earning them professional development points. In most cases, the newspapers, teaching materials and workshops are provided at no cost to schools.
