AJC: NFK | ajc.com

We appreciate the relationship we have with you and the value you provide to the students in your classroom through the News For Kids Program. We wanted to keep you informed about changes taking place at the AJC that involve the NFK Program.

Due to limited funding for the NFK Program, we are in the process of reducing the number of papers that are distributed so that all of our sponsored classrooms continue to receive newspapers through the end of the 2007-2008 school year.

Effective immediately, all Wednesday and Saturday deliverers will be discontinued. We are also in the process of reducing each newspaper order by half. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause. You will continue to receive newspapers for your classrooms through May 23, 2008.

If you have any questions, please contact Customer Care at 404-526-7892 or 404-526-7893. Thank you for your continued support of the AJC and participation in the NFK Program.

Sincerely,

The News for Kids Staff

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's News for Kids program provides newspapers for the classroom to enhance learning. Through sponsorships, teachers receive the newspapers at no cost to them to use as instructional tools in the classroom. Students can read about the world, national and local events and apply lessons they are exposed to at school to themselves and the world around them.

The News for Kids program features a variety of resource guides, free workshops, and online lesson plans.

For more information or to start receiving sponsored newspapers, contact NFK Customer Service at 404-526-7893.
