Welcome to this year’ s edition of Kids in the Union-Times
Kids in the Union-Times is part of this newspaper’ s commitment to promote and increase the literacy of children in our community through the use of newspapers. The Union-Times publishes this section as part of its support of an international program called Newspapers in Education( NIE).
We see Kids in the Union-Times as a unique opportunity for our newspaper, local businesses and schools in the Milaca and Princeton communities to work together in a partnership that benefits all of us— today and in the future.
The Union-Times staff created a lesson plan designed to teach students about the inner workings of a newspaper— from the daily duties of the editorial team to the important role that advertising and the work our multimedia sales associates play in supporting the daily operations of a newspaper— both in print and online.
After learning about the operations of a newspaper, the students were given the opportunity to design an ad for Union-Times advertisers.
The creativity of the students can be enjoyed on the pages that follow.
We thank our business communities, along with local educators from the Community Christian, Milaca Elementary, Faith Christian and Princeton Intermediate schools, along with participating students for making this project possible.
