Miles and Monarchs popular with third graders!

Mrs. Harper’s 3rd grade class at Gallatin R-5 Elementary is shown reading the Gallatin North Missourian. The class participated in the Newspapers in Education project which was sponsored by the Missouri Press Foundation and the National Newspaper Association Foundation. An 8-week serial story was presented in the Missourian entitled “Miles and Monarch.” The story covered Major League Baseball through personal stories of some of the most influential Negro League baseball players. Mrs. Harper said, “The students had a lot of questions and were able to compare/contrast with the story and today’s circumstances. They enjoyed the story and really liked that they were able to take their newspapers home.” Over 100 local students participated in the project. [Submitted photo]
