ABOUT NIE


Mission: To promote literacy in the youth of our community while teaching them to become thoughtful, informed consumers of information.

What is NIE? 

Newspapers in Education (NIE) is a nation-wide program to promote and increase our children’s literacy by using the newspaper as a teaching tool. Championed by “The Sun”, NIE is a unique way for schools, businesses, families, and the local newspaper to work together in a partnership that benefits all of us… now and in the future.
