Dear Friend,
Many times during the past three weeks, I have thought back to a famous Mr. Rogers quote from my childhood: “Look for the helpers.”
He meant it as a comforting phrase for children in times of tragedy, but we at Economics Arkansas have turned it into a marching order: Join the helpers!
So we have retooled our daily operations and educational offerings. All staff is working from home, and yes, everybody is in good health and committed to doing their part. We are grateful.
We are also energized by the renewed urgency of our mission. As the country is in the midst of economic turmoil, the need for economic and personal finance education is all the more evident.
We appreciate your continued support as we bring knowledge, resources and inspiration to Arkansas teachers, students, and families. Thank you.
