In observance of International Literacy Day, your local newspaper, in partnership with the Alameda and San Mateo - County Offices of Education plus SEVENTEEN Bay Area Chambers of Commerce - will publish NEWSPAPERS GIVE KNOWLEDGE AND GUIDANCE, a special section to excite children and parents about reading.

You can celebrate reading too by making a tax-deductible* donation of $100 or more to the Alameda or San Mateo County Office of Education Newspapers in Education Fund. All of your contribution will help us provide schools with newspapers and teaching materials that motivate students to READ every day.

As a special thank you, NEWSPAPERS GIVE KNOWLEDGE AND GUIDANCE will showcase the names, businesses and personal signatures of community leaders who contribute.

Reading the gives children a sense of history and creates a connection to the world.

*May be tax-deductible, consult accountant
