The Power of Story

PreK–Grade 3

Scholastic Mission Statement To encourage the intellectual and personal growth of all children, beginning with literacy.

Scholastic Credo We strive to present the clearest explanation of current affairs and contemporary thought, and to encourage literary appreciation and expression consistent with the understanding and interests of young people at all levels of learning. Scholastic pledges to uphold the basic freedoms of all individuals; we are unalterably opposed to any system of government or society that denies these freedoms. We oppose discrimination of any kind on the basis of race, creed, color, sex, age, or national origin. Good citizens may honestly differ on important public questions. We believe that all sides of the issues of our times should be fairly discussed—with deep respect for facts and logical thinking—in classroom magazines, books, and other educational materials used in schools and homes.

Scholastic Believes In

• The worth and dignity of each individual • Respect for the diverse groups in our multicultural society

• The right of each individual to live in a wholesome environment, and equally, the personal responsibility of each individual to help gain and preserve a decent and healthful environment, beginning with informed care of one’s own body and mind • High moral and spiritual values • The democratic way of life, with basic liberties—and responsibilities—for everyone • Constitutional, representative government, and evenhanded justice that maintains equality of rights for all people • Responsible competitive enterprise and responsible labor, with opportunities for all • Cooperation and understanding among all people for the peace of the world
