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 initiatives (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
