Whether you're on the beach, on the slopes or on vacation anywhere else, you can help schools when you put your newspaper on hold during your trip.

Instead of asking for your account to be put on hold for a credit, just tell the customer service representative at 1-877-98PAPER to donate your papers to a school. Or, if you put your paper on hold online, just select the donation option.

You rely on The Oklahoman for your news, and students across the state rely on The Oklahoman for fun and educational activities. More than 700 schools each year participate in The Oklahoman's Newspapers In Education program, which delivers newspapers to schools and provides teachers with lessons developed just with kids in mind, all at no charge.

Your donation will help The Oklahoman expand the NIE program to more classrooms, more teachers, and most importantly, more students. Every penny helps.

To make your donation, please contact Retail/NIE Sales Manager Mica Lee at 405-475-3867 or mlee@oklahoman.com.
