3. Because it's free!

Every week your Catholic school or religious education program in the Catholic Diocese of Green Bay can receive 25 copies of The Compass for student use (extras are 29¢ each). Just ask. Our sponsors expect that you will use The Compass faithfully with your students each week.

Middle and high school religion class is the first place to use The Compass. Younger students like Kids Chronicle, photos and headlines. Use articles for discussion starters, inspiration for essays or journal entries, or background for assignments on the Church.

Religion makes Catholic schools different from public schools, and our Catholic faith is the basis of our religious education programs. This sets The Compass apart from other newspapers and is why it belongs in your classroom.

English/Journalism teachers use The Compass to teach good journalistic style, good writing, reading comprehension, reading-to-write and critical thinking. Integrate religion into other classes and use The Compass as a model for your school newspaper.

Social Studies classes use The Compass to learn about foreign missions and locations of parishes and schools in our diocese and the world. Keep students informed of the latest developments in our universal church.

Check out the back page -- Our local youth page alternates with Kids Chronicle. Use Scripture Search on the Sunday readings. Foundations of Faith is for all ages. The Compass often highlights local students and discusses hot issues facing youth: alcohol and other drug abuse, health, peer pressure, suicide, teen pregnancy, runaways, violence, faith questions, etc.
