Order Newspapers For Your Classroom

Classroom delivery of newspapers is a joint effort of area businesses and the Skagit Valley Herald. The business partners pay a portion of the cost of the newspapers while the Skagit Valley Herald pays remaining costs. As a public service, the Skagit Valley Herald also provides curricula and other services so that educators can use their newspapers to the fullest potential.

The Skagit Valley Herald will be delivered to schools in La Conner, Anacortes, Oak Harbor, Coupeville, Concrete, Conway, and Stanwood the afternoon of the day of publication. Schools in Mount Vernon, Burlington, and Sedro-Woolley will receive their newspapers before 8:00 a.m. on the day following publication.  Sunday newspapers will always be delivered on Monday.

  • A minimum of SIX papers must be ordered. It is best to order one newspaper for each student. Students may take their newspapers home after they have been used in class.
  • Orders can be placed for more than one weekday.
  • You are welcome to share your order with another classroom if you wish to alternate delivery weeks.

Please indicate the edition you would like to receive:
