Our district is looking at becoming more uniform among the schools on our food restrictions.
We have buildings that say no food for birthdays and holiday parties, ones that say only for holiday parties, ones that are bring-in whenever. Only common thing right now is that everything must have a label to be checked against allergy lists.
What does your school do?
(Also, extra special bonus points if you have a favorite piece of information that you like to share with parents/PTO/admin)
Over here in the high school we just started selling peanut products in the lunch line....they're made separately and not to order because "we believe that the teenagers know what to avoid."
Ha - that quote made me laugh! I had a high school student with a tree nut allergy eat a hazelnut cookie even though she knew hazelnuts were in it. Yep, the Epi-pen did need to come out for that one.
