Prepare for Summer Break with Feature Stories

In NIE News On
- Updated

The school year is winding down across Missouri, but there are still opportunities to use MPA’s Newspaper In Education content to reach young readers before they break and over the summer months. All of the features may be accessed at mo-nie.com using the designated download code.

A feature with information on the first total solar eclipse in the Continental United States in nearly four decades will be available in early May. Share the science behind this phenomenon with students before they leave for school. MPA will have a second version available for use in August leading up to The Great American Eclipse on Aug. 21.

The final two features in the much-anticipated World War I series have been delayed due to circumstanced beyond MPA’s control. Two features are available (worldwarone). We hope to finish the series for use this fall and for the commemoration of the end of the war in November 2018.
