Arkansas Game and Fish Commission Southwest Regional Educator Casey Hardaway helps the students in Brandy Frohnappel’s third grade class at Clinton Primary School understand more about deer which roam freely in Hempstead County as she reads a story on the subject. Hardaway is one of a number of community volunteer readers participating in the Early Literacy Initiative of the Hope Public Schools by reading to classes at CPS each Friday. The program is open to any adult. Contact Ken McLemore at ken.mclemore@hpsdistrict.org online, or call 870-77-3451, ext. 615, to enroll. – Ken McLemore/Hope Public Schools
