Sharing your Newspaper delivery route

I have posted previously to indicate that I used to deliver the local newspaper.  While I was unemployed, I decided to pick this job up again.  It is very easy to get a job that no one wants.  I am close to being a volunteer and I definitely get pay below minimum wage.  Luckily for them, I don't mind this modest pay but I don't think I would do it completely free of charge.  Afterall, I am required to deliver the local newspaper once a week and to provide two weeks notice before I go on vacation or quit.

The job is easy but very time-consuming.  It is funny that an adult and not a kid is doing the delivery.  I even dress up like a child to fit the part of the local newspaper delivery kid.  Being the kid is easy, when many residents around the neighbourhood are older than me; some are seniors.  When compared to a senior, I am sometimes called a baby.

HOWEVER, there are a few elementary schools around. Therefore, I propose bringing the important task of delivering the local newspaper to the local elementary schools.  The fund raised through their delivery efforts could be used to purchase Pizza for Pizza days or burger for Burger days or for field trips or whatever.

Each route I deliver, consists of about 48 houses.  Class sizes I believe are around 20 to 30.  If the newspaper and inserts are delivered to the school, the school can then distribute them to the classroom.  The teachers can set the classroom up like a buffet and each child is in charge of one newspaper only.  At lunch time, the local crossing guard can set up blockage to block off the whole road where the children are delivering to their specified house.

This is just a thought.  It will be much faster than me assembling the paper for every single house.
