Dr. Patricia Mounce, associate professor of accounting, recently made the “Kid’s Count” financial literacy presentation to approximately 270 first, second and third graders at Mayflower Elementary School. Each student received Kids Count materials, which included an easy to recite poem about savings, a drawing activity, and a pink plastic piggy bank, courtesy of the Arkansas Society of Certified Public Accountants. The teacher received a recommended reading list of books on the topic of money, and a classroom activity. Each child also received information to take home to their parent or guardian to help reinforce the savings lesson.
