Q & A
Can we give kids a snack?
Not at this time. We have a number of children with gluten, peanut and other allergies and sensitivities, some that are severe enough to endanger the life of the child. In order to ensure every child's health and safety during classes, we ask that teachers and students bring non-edible "treats" i.e. stickers, pencils for the class.
Personal water bottles, however, are encouraged, and because of allergies, please do not allow children to eat their breakfast in classrooms. What you can do instead:
Send home a nut-free treat like Starburst or fruit snacks at the END of class.
