If you are planning to send a treat to school for a birthday, please note that we have several life threatening food allergies and dietary restrictions.  Non-edible treats work best and last longer, ie. pencils, erasers, stickers, etc.  If you choose to send an edible treat you must contact me and have the ingredients approved by the school nurse 48 hours before sending it to school.

Thank you for helping to keep all of our children safe.
