Wellness program includes highly nutritious menus, nutrition education, and daily exercise. The menu has been designed with nationally-known nutritionists and physicians. It emphasizes fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains, and tends to lower cholesterol levels and help prevent cancer.
The menu also helps those students who are overweight to lose weight and helps improve those who have pre-diabetic or diabetic conditions. Our own talented chefs prepare these delicious meals. There are staff and student tasting committees which constantly provide feedback to the chef and suggest new menu items.
Physician and dentist on site. JRC employs skilled nurses. In addition, JRC has a medical doctor who works on site one day a week, and an additional doctor who works one day per month, also a dentist who visits the school on a regular monthly basis. This saves valuable educational time for the students.
As a result of JRC’s ability to reduce problem behaviors, many students have been able to obtain medical services for the first time in years.
