Paper for a Brand New School Newspaper

My students need 30 packs of 11x17 paper to print their brand new school newspaper. They are really excited about this new endeavor and would love to deliver it to their schoolmates in style!

Mrs. Duncan Alta Loma Middle School
South San Francisco, CA Grades 6-8

I teach language arts and journalism to seventh and eighth graders at a predominately lower-middle class, ethnically diverse middle school in California.

With the current budget problems in our state, the start-up newspaper my students and I have embarked on is lacking one major supply: paper! Your donation would be a huge help.

We need 30 reams of 11x17 paper to get us through the school year. The class plans to take the paper on-line, but would like to develop a readership by having print editions first, and then continue printing some editions for kids without access to technology.

You will make it possible for my students to publish a school newspaper every two weeks. The kids are so excited about this journey they have begun and you would be a big part of their success.
