Family literacy is about learning, growing, and changing. Some of the benefits families get from going to a family literacy program are: Parents gain new skills and get better jobs Children do better in school Parents learn to help their children in new ways – at school and at home Family Literacy can help you move toward a better life. It will help you reach your goals one day at a time. Literacy is an important part of everyday life. Studies have proven that individuals with a higher literacy level earn a greater income and enjoy a greater quality of life. At the Family Life Center , we believe that literacy is a family affair. Our program offers a chance for parents (or grandparents) and their children to learn together. Parents and their children are encouraged to attend classes together.

"In the Heart of Arkansas" CONWAY The city of Conway was founded by A. P. Robinson, who came to Conway shortly after the Civil War. Robinson was the chief engineer for the Little Rock - Fort Smith Railroad (now the Union-Pacific). Part of his compensation was the deed to a tract of land, one mile square, located near the old settlement of Cadron. When the railroad came through, Robinson deeded a small tract of his land back to the railroad for a depot site. He laid off a town site around the depot and named it Conway station, in honor of a famous Arkansas family. Conway was designated the county seat of Faulkner County in 1873, the same year that the county was created by the legislature. In October 1875, Conway was incorporated and, at that time had a population of approximately 200. For many years, Conway flourished as a trade center for a large rural agricultural area. Hendrix college was established in Conway in 1890. Three years later in 1893, Central College for Girls was established and Conway was on its way to becoming an educational center. The University of Central Arkansas was founded in Conway in 1907 as the Arkansas Normal School. Conway's economy was firmly established upon agriculture and educational institutions until World War II. After the war, diversification of the economy was started by Conway businessmen when several small industries were located in Conway, including the headquarters for the Office of Emergency Services, the Human Development Center and the Arkansas Educational Television Network.

Arkansas' 1996 child-poverty rate ranked in top 10 nationally ANDREW A. GREEN ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE A quarter of Arkansas' children were in poverty in 1996, giving the state one of the 10 highest rates in the nation, according to new Census Bureau estimates. The state's rate stayed essentially the same in the '90s while the national average increased significantly, from 18.3 percent to 20.5 percent. Arkansas didn't get worse, but it didn't get better either. Although Louisiana and Mississippi still have higher child-poverty rates than Arkansas, both states showed significant decreases in the '90s, and Mississippi had the largest poverty decreases in the nation in nearly every age group for which the bureau made estimates. Poverty statistics are problematic. The dollar threshold for poor families is set nationally by the Office of Management and Budget and doesn't take into account local cost of living variations and other factors, so some children who are counted as poor in Arkansas are probably better off than some poor children in other states, Census officials said.

December 2001 Conservation Reserve Program Arkansas Enhancement Program Overview USDA and the state of Arkansas have launched a $10 million Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) to improve water quality of the Bayou Meto watershed and wildlife habitat in five central Arkansas counties. CREP uses federal and state resources to safeguard environmentally sensitive land through the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). Producers enrolled in CRP remove lands from agricultural production and plant native grasses, trees, and other vegetation to improve water quality, soil, and wildlife habitat. CRP is authorized by the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. CREP provides rental payments and other financial incentives to encourage producers to voluntarily enroll in 10- to 15-year CRP contracts. Benefits The Arkansas CREP will target 4,700 acres in central Arkansas to protect water quality, including drinking water supplies. The project will establish tree buffers around streams and rivers in the Bayou Meto watershed. These buffers keep sediment, nutrients, and pollutants from entering water supplies. Trees planted under the Arkansas CREP will reduce the amount of sediment reaching the water by 10,000 tons per year. The program will also provide vital habitat for a wide array of wildlife, including17 rare or declining species.
