SPRINGDALE, Ark. — The Springdale School District is providing students with meals while they are out of school during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Smith Elementary is one of the pick-up locations and prepared around 570 lunch and breakfast boxes on Tuesday (March 17).
The people who prepare these meals say it is great the school is doing this while the students are out.
“It’s a lot of hard work but it’s worth it. We’re such a big community but with what we’re doing it doesn’t feel like it. It feels like a small town,” said Carol Wood and Jamie Stewart.
The district says they plan to also serve during spring break.
They are passing out meals at Hellstern Middle School, Tyson Middle School, Sonora Middle School, Smith Elementary, Jones Elementary, George Elementary and Parson Hills Elementary.
