Available in Color About Betty Debnam
Generations of kids have been lucky enough to have Betty Debnam as a teacher. As founding editor of The Mini Page in 1969,Betty taught the nation’s children and many adults through this award-winning newspaper feature.
Debnam, who passed away in 2020, had both a newspaper and educational background. Her grandmother, grandfather and father were newspaper editors. She received a master’s degree in education from Duke University and taught elementary school for 12 years.
Each week since The Mini Page's inception, it has left its mark on students, educators and parents across the country as a fun and constructive way to learn. The Mini Page's articles are well-researched and presented so that newspaper readers representing all ages and reading levels can enjoy them.
Today, The Mini Page is created, owned and distributed by Andrews McMeel Syndication, with the clear mission of carrying on Betty's legacy of informing and entertaining its core audience: student readers.
