Cedarville Elementary

Cedarville Elementary is not seeking new service members for the 2024-2025 school year.

Cedarville believes students deserve equal access to resources, the most important and basic being food. Staff work hard to make sure all students are fueled and nourished as they enter their learning zones through: after school programs, free breakfast, grab n go breakfast, food share tables, free summer meals programs, snack packs, holiday meals on wheels, and fruits and vegetables in the classroom. FoodCorps Service Members help to enhance the programs that Cedarville has implemented by providing hands-on curriculum-aligned lessons that connect children to healthy habits and to what they are learning in the traditional classrooms.  Members also create a positive cafeteria environment by encouraging our students to make healthy choices.

Cedarville is a rural town located in the Arkansas River Valley with a population of about 1,300 people. It is a quick drive to both Fort Smith and Van Buren, so members get to enjoy the quiet rural life and the perks of living near a city. The Cedarville community is tight-knit; parents and community members are strong supporters of the school garden program! This means that farmers, food preservationists, and other local leaders are always willing to come share with the students. Arkansas is deemed ‘The Natural State’, and that love of nature is so evident in the excitement we see for school garden programs!
