Reach • Targeted audience - students, parents, teachers in grades K-5 (students take papers home in backpack for parents to read). Classcandy is allowed to be distributed directly to students because we follow the Virginia state code to not publish any material that is not suitable for young readers. • Currently distributed in Danville and Pittsylvania County school districts. For the first time, this year private schools will also be invited to participate. • 9000 copies of Classcandy are distributed each month • As a partner with the Piedmont Shopper, we also offer an opportunity to reach an even broader audience.
What is ClassCandy?
Classcandy©, in partnership with The Piedmont Shopper, provides a monthly newspaper delivered to schools the first Friday of each month in the Danville/Pittsylvania County area in grades PreK-5th, as a part of our Newspaper in Education (NIE) program. Classcandy© is distributed directly in local classrooms for students to use as an upto-date fun learning tool and will provide teachers valuable resources to use, such as downloadable lesson plans and worksheets. Increasingly tight budgets make it harder each year for teachers to get the resources and materials they need for the classroom. There is no cost for Classcandy© to the teachers, students or schools. Together with area businesses, school administrators, principals and teachers, we are working to improve the quality of education and community outreach for our students.
A smart investment in the future of our community! With your help, we will be able to... • create a positive and long-lasting impact on our community • make a significant difference in the lives and futures of children and families in our local area. We need your help.

Throughout history, character education has been the shared responsibility of parents, teachers and members of the community, who come together to support positive character development. Within the character of the citizen lies the welfare of the nation. — Cicero ...nothing is of more importance for the public weal, than to form and train up youth in wisdom and virtue. — Benjamin Franklin
