THESE BUSINESSES HAVE CLASS!
The Kansas City Star and The Star in Education thank our Business Partners in Education for making the grade in 2007-2008.
Thanks to these sponsors’ generosity, teachers and students throughout Kansas and Missouri receive newspapers at their schools. Schools that actively use
Newspapers in Education show a 10-27% improvement in academic performance. Using newspapers in the classroom stimulates creativity and engages
students with real-world events and applications. Successful students become educated employees, informed consumers and active citizens.
Business and individual sponsors make the difference. To sponsor a classroom, contact Jeremy Zaerr at 816-234-4861.
