The latest edition of 501 Kids – the winter issue – is hitting the streets.

“With the mission of 501 Kids celebrating youth in Central Arkansas, it’s very fitting that this edition’s cover story would feature the wonderful Dribblers program at St. Joseph Elementary School,” said editor/co-publisher Sonja J. Keith. “What a treat to attend a St. Joseph High School basketball game and get to see the Dribblers in action. It is a great program. Hats off to Laura Hiegel-Williams who started the program and continues to lead it.”
