The RCS Summer Care Program is excited to partner with Taher (a contract food service management company) to provide nutritious meals and snacks throughout the summer.

Taher's approach to nutrition: "Our approach is chef-based, which means everything we do revolves around our chefs’ passion for fresh, high-quality ingredients, meals cooked from scratch, and globally inspired recipes." Additionally, Taher's licensed dietitians "stay current on advancements in nutritional knowledge" and work to incorporate initiative (such as increasing whole grains and completely phasing out all trans fats) into their menus.

Taher's emphasis on health pairs well with the RCS Guiding Principle to "grow together in mind, body, and spirit." In order to nourish the mind and spirit, the body must be nourished as well!

True to our core values of service, integrity, respect, and community, students will:

• Help prepare the space for mealtime
• Offer prayer of thanks and praise before "breaking bread" together
• Offer prayer of thanks after the enjoyment of "good food and good company"
• Contribute to clean-up after mealtime

Health and Immunization Forms
Parents are required to submit an immunization form prior to their child’s attendance of the first program session. This form must be signed by a parent, physician, or public health clinic, and must be kept up-to-date. Medical or legal exemptions to the immunization requirements must be submitted prior to entrance.

In addition, a Health Care Summary signed by a physician or their representative must be submitted within 30 days of enrollment for each child. All children must have had a physical exam after they have reached 33 months of age.

The signature of a physician or public clinic is required on the immunization form if the child has not received all of the immunizations required by law for child care. A signature from a physician will also be required if the child has not had the Chickenpox Vaccine (Varicella), but has had Chickenpox.
