Meals at the New River Academy

     Morning workout starts not long after the sun has risen and is followed immediately by healthy, delicious and energetic breakfast prepared by the staff and students in charge that day. Which school on earth begins with such a perfect morning!? Meals are à la carte everyday in order to feed the picky mouths of 20 kayakers but it usually does not take more than some grill cheese and pancakes. We have had, the best ones, Loré’s Chilean corn pasta, Chris’ green bean salad, Tino’s banana pancakes, Kira’s vegetarian burrito and my chicken fried rice. Students have four class periods before lunch and 3 after. The same crew also prepares lunch and the teacher in charge usually has to teach the class while cooking. So, the class kinda looks like one of those culinary TV shows.
