On March 27th the Bessie Moore Center hosted the Northwest Regional Economics Challenge. High school students spent the day at the Sam M. Walton College at the University of Arkansas. After a morning of testing they toured campus and had lunch at the Arkansas Union. A quiz bowl competition resulted in the Huntsville Team taking first place with Greenwood Econ Dogs taking second. Other Greenwood teams and a Clarksville team competed for the regional title. The state competition will be held in Little Rock on April 12th. The winning team will advance to a regional competition and then possibly on to the national competition in New York City. A great incentive for taking a few simple economics tests --- don’t you think? Thanks to Economics Arkansas, The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Little Rock Branch, Gary Ferrier, holder of the Lewis E. Epley, Jr. Professorship in Economics, and the Walton College for supporting this event! --- Dr. Rita Littrell

What Teachers Have to Say!
"I've always believed that life is a life-long learning experience. After 24 years of teaching behind me, I once again find this true. Leaning about incorporating Economics into my teaching field has been a wonderful stretching experience. I can't wait to share with my co-teachers and others in my school." - Discover the Magic: Economics in Children's Literature Workshop
