NUTS IN SCHOOL AGAIN
It has been drawn to our attention that pecan nuts are being put into a child’s lunch box again.
We are a NUT FREE school as all parents are well aware, due to the risk to children who have nut allergies, so parents should not be putting nuts into lunch boxes.
The nuts are not being eaten, but are being thrown in the food waste bin; this has subsequently caused irreparable damage to the kitchen waste disposal unit.
Children are asked to take all un-eaten packed lunch food home so that parents are aware of their child’s school eating habits.
Thank you for your co-operation in keeping us a nut free school.
