Thank you Creston News Advertiser

From Pam Hoffman

Kent

For those who are unaware, Creston News Advertiser supplies up to five free newspapers to area classrooms daily throughout the school year. I teach English to high school students, and each day a portion of my class is devoted to reading something that does not require a screen – for example no computers, Kindles, phones, etc.

When students don’t have a book, I suggest the newspaper. At first, many of them didn’t think much of that suggestion, but before long, they were asking if I had the new edition of the paper. Some of them told me they had never even looked at a newspaper until they read it in my classroom. They were even reading the ads and telling me what was on sale and where.

I’d like to thank CNA for enhancing education in our communities – especially when schools are so limited on funds.
