You may call LaNesha Flowers at 316-268-6564. We cannot guarantee the request but we will work hard to make it happen if at all possible.

What if papers aren't delivered?

  • Newspapers are delivered early in the morning. Let your school personnel know that you are expecting delivery of the newspaper and designate a place for delivery.
  • Sometimes your papers will be delivered in more than one bundle. Don't discard these bundles: each bundle provides materials you need.
  • The serial stories are always printed in the paper, but many of the special programs will include study guides for students as well as a teacher’s guide that can be found on Kansas.com.

Check with school personnel to see if your newspapers arrived. If they did not, contact LaNesha Flowers at 316-268-6564 before 10 a.m. We cannot guarantee a backup delivery, but we will work with you to resolve any issues.

How can we recycle our papers?

Abitibi Recycling has partnered with area schools. Check for the yellow and green bin in your school lot. If you would like to get a bin for your school, call Rafeale LeJeune at 866-429-3573.
