Nut Free Snacks and Birthday Treats

Posted on by

nutfree2Hi Parents and Students!  This is just a friendly reminder to look on the left side of our classroom blog for the page on acceptable nut free snacks and birthday treats to send into school. We do have a student with nut allergies in our classroom.  In order to protect this student, I am asking all students to choose snacks from the list on the “nut free snack suggestions” blog page to eat during snack break. Please be mindful of this and do not send anything for snack that has nuts or peanut butter.  We may NOT have home-made birthday treats either. If you would like to send a treat for your child’s birthday, please carefully read the labels on pre-packaged treats and if they are nut-free or not processed on equipment that may have had nuts, then they are acceptable. You may also send non-food items for birthday surprises like pencils, erasers, or small toy items. Thank you so much for cooperating with us on this matter!

*However, you may still send your “nutty” 4th grade children to school.  I will definitely accept them!!  LOL

 

Correction To Welcome Packet

Posted on by

Parents,

In our Welcome Packet it says that you may send in a simple treat for birthdays.  This year we will need to make this treat something non-edible as we have a tree nut allergy in our second grade class as a whole.  In order to protect this student from coming into contact with anything containing tree nuts, it is just safer if we eliminate it from our classrooms altogether.  Therefore, no edible treats will be allowed for birthdays.  Parents in other years have sent in pencils, erasers, and other small items to be passed out instead.  Remember that this is entirely optional! It is also fine to not send in anything at all.  We will celebrate by singing to your child and giving him/her VIP status for the day!
