Teacher Order Form the Des Moines Register

NEWSPAPERS IN EDUCATION Teacher Order Form The Des Moines Register

Greetings,

We hope your school year is going well. I know that you are very busy finishing up the year however; I want to remind you about the newspaper as you start making your list of school-purchased supplies for next year. I know that you probably have an endless supply of tapes, videos and other educational materials that help improve your students’ grades. Why not add the most up-to-date textbook available to those materials?

Classroom newspapers will be one of the best investments you can make for you students and for far less money than you might suspect. The newspaper brings you the freshest available information on a daily basis. What’s more, we have exciting and useful educational support materials to help your students tackle different subjects while learning from newspaper articles. Newspapers are high-interest educational tools, meaning most students can comprehend and enjoy much of what the newspaper offers.

The cost for The Des Moines Register is offered at a low price to the classroom, $.125 per copy for the State Edition (with a minimum of 10 papers) or $.25 per copy for the Metro Edition (where available). As always, you may select the days you want The Des Moines Register delivered, from one day to the entire school year.

Enclosed you will find an order form for the upcoming school year. Please feel free to share it with your fellow teachers.

You can fax the completed order form to (515) 286-2547 or mail it to: The Des Moines Register Newspaper in Education PO Box 957 Des Moines, IA. 50304-0957

You’re welcome to search our website (desmoinesregister.com) for curriculums available to be uti- lized in conjunction with the newspaper in the classroom. If you have any questions, or need any additional assistance, you may call me, Jeanne Ryan @ (515) 284-8513 or 800-365-4692 EXT. 8513. You may also reach me by email: [email protected]. I look forward to helping you with the educational needs of your classroom.
