Wellness

Physical Well-being

Exercising our minds AND our bodies is essential! RFS utilizes the nearby Earlham College Wellness Center for Wellness Wednesdays, incorporates recess into ALL grades, and encourages students to participate in local sports programs. RFS now sponsors Richmond’s first middle school and high school lacrosse programs open to all area middle school and high school students. These opportunities for our students to develop healthy bodies pairs well with our desire for them to experience healthy competition! For more information on this program, contact Kyle Zajdel, Team Administrator: kylez@vanvleetinsurance.com.
