Arkansas Reads One Book (Parent Letter Excerpts) 
www.economicsarkansas.org (Cleo Link)

"Every family will receive a copy of the same book --- Cleo Edison Oliver:  Playground Millionaire, by Sundee T. Frazier—and will be asked to read it together at home for the next three weeks.  

Your child will receive a copy of Cleo Edison Oliver: Playground Millionaire at a special assembly on April 20 at 1:30. You are invited to attend.   Along with the book, you will receive a reading schedule so that you can read together at home.   You will also receive other resources to enhance the reading experience for your child and provide a better understanding of financial literacy."
