We are a peanut/tree nut free classroom. Birthday celebrations are wonderful, but can be hurtful for those who have allergies. Please be mindful as you discuss ideas to celebrate your childs birthday with friends!
Here is a list of acceptable snack ideas.
PEANUT FREE/ TREE NUT FREE SNACKS
Please note: Food labels/ingredients change over time, so it is recommended that you read the labels before purchasing snacks. Please read labels carefully to make sure the products are nut free. This includes labels that read “May contain traces or peanuts/tree nuts” or “Manufactured in a plant with peanuts/tree nuts”.
Thank you for your consideration and support in keeping food-allergic children safe from having a life-threatening allergic reaction at school.
