Newspapers, Businesses and Education:
An Amazing Partnership
Welcome to the 2021 edition of Newspapers in Education. This is our 14th annual
edition. The purpose of this year's edition, like the previous ones, is to introduce
newspapers into the classroom. We want to get students thinking about the news-
paper industry.
All of the advertisements in this special section were designed by Lewistown
Junior High students in Katie Wirtzberger's class.
The winners were awarded prizes from local businesses, and every student who
took part received a token of appreciation.
Thank you to Mrs. Wirtzberger and the LJHS students, and to all of the local
businesses involved for making this section possible.
We hope you enjoy the hard work, enthusiasm and creativity that students in the
seventh- and eighth-grade art classes showed in this year's "Newspapers in
Education."
Special thanks to Lewistown Junior High teacher Katie Wirtzberger!
