We have a number of girls who have a severe allergy to many different types of nuts. In the case of eight children this can be life threatening. It is for this reason we are a nut free school and discourage not only students, but also teachers and parents from bringing nuts in to school. Personally I love eating nuts but always refrain from doing so at school. Could I please encourage all parents to be receptive to this issue.
It is also for this reason that we discourage the sharing of food. Often, certain items have trace elements that might be in a particular food item and a child is unaware of this. It is just easier to have a moratorium on the sharing of food.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
