Detroit Newspapers in Education (DNIE)/ Michigan K.I.D.S. , Inc. 2011-2012 Survey
All DNIE/Michigan K.I.D.S. programs and materials are now supported solely by donations from individuals, corporations, and foundations - and by newspaper readers who donate the value of their subscriptions while they're on vacation. It is our goal to raise additional funding so that we can continue to provide FREE print and online products, student contests, school reading events, and other services. With significantly less funding, however, it is important to get your input so we can make decisions that align with your needs. Please complete this brief survey by June 1. Your feedback will be shared with the Michigan K.I.D.S. Board.
