For almost 30 years now, Mary Helen Black has published Kids Newspaper and distributed it to the students/families in elementary schools across Spokane County. With COVID and the disruption that has caused to “normal school” as we had known it, she has pivoted to an electronic version. Different format but still the same quality content, and the same helpful resource it has always been to families.
The first edition for the 2020-21 school year is available at this link, via flipsnack https://www.flipsnack.com/Kidsnewspaper/kids-newspaper-september-2020.html - and is now being provided REGION WIDE.
A few highlights from the September edition include:
- Recognition of Stormy Given, the Teacher of the Month from Holmes Elementary in the Spokane Public Schools
- A column from Dr. Randy Russell, superintendent in the Freeman School District
- Numerous helpful resources for parents
- And a feature on Shawn Jordan, executive director in the Spokane Public Schools
