As a mother of a child with a severe tree nut allergy, I cannot stress the importance of safe snacking. Below you will find helpful information & lists of foods that accommodate peanut & tree nut allergies. Thank you for attention to this matter. It is imperative we work together to make school a safe snacking environment!
Due to allergy concerns, all snacks must comply with the "Safe Snack List." Donated items will be checked in using the lists below. There are a few "sweet" items on the list - we'll save those for special treats and encourage healthy snacking as much as possible!
