Fundraising Goal (annual): $2,000

spring break is here and our children will be more than ready to put those shorts back on!
Do your children have shorts that fit? What to do?
Stop by the Spring Used Uniform Sale the week BEFORE spring break and stock up on uniform
shorts and other spring wear at great prices. All clothing is in quality condition at a fraction of
the price of new pieces.
Used Uniform Sales are held 2-3 times each year to offer parents an easy and cost effective
way to find needed uniform pieces. The money raised from these sales is an important part of
the HSA budget and pledge used to fund school operations.
Please drop off any clothing donations in the office!

News from the Nurse
We are well beyond the halfway mark for the school year, which is the perfect time for a refresher on a very important
topic – severe (life threatening or anaphylactic) nut allergies at school.
An allergic reaction from ingesting or touching nuts can be very frightening and life threatening (anaphylaxis). Some of
the symptoms are: swollen eyes, swollen face, hives, nausea/ vomiting, tongue and throat swelling that can lead to
difficulty breathing. This kind of reaction is a medical emergency and must be treated within minutes.
Q: How can we, as a school community, help to keep students with severe nut allergies safe at school?
A: To protect these students, please avoid sending snacks to share/ classroom treats or bake sale items
that contain nuts or may have nut contamination. If there are specific guidelines in place for certain
classrooms or lunchroom tables, please follow them.
*Please take extra care and read labels in order to avoid sending in nut-containing or potentially nut-contaminated
foods if they are to be consumed in a classroom that has been identified as “nut free” or is to be shared with others,
such as classroom treats or bake sale items, etc. Food labels will list nuts in the ingredient list, as well as identify in the
allergen information section if it contains nuts or may contain nuts or may have been processed on shared equipment or
in a facility that also processes nuts.
*If you are sending in home baked goods – no nuts, no nut-based or nut-containing flours or oils etc, use an
abundance of caution in your kitchen to avoid cross-contamination of utensils and surfaces.
*If you are unsure about a particular food item, please ask your child’s teacher or the school nurse for
verification.
It is important to understand that some people with allergies, especially to nuts, can have or develop a touch allergy in
addition to an ingestion allergy. This means that along with having the life threatening reaction if he/she eats anything
with nuts, he/she can have a life threatening reaction from inadvertently touching something that has nuts, peanuts,
peanut oil or flour, or peanut butter on it. He/she can be endangered if another child spills, or wipes food that contains
nut on a table, chair, doorknob, clothing, hands or face, and then he/she comes in contact with it.
Good handwashing with soap and water minimizes risk, as does cleaning surfaces appropriately. Hand sanitizer is NOT
an effective means of removing the allergen - because the allergen is a protein structure, not a bacteria or germ, so it
cannot be “killed,” but rather, it must be removed. The same holds true for Lysol and other sanitizing sprays (not
effective). Good old fashioned elbow grease and a good cleanser and a cloth, or a cleaning wipe of some sort are most
effective at removing the nut allergen.
This is a great learning opportunity for all of us to learn about good nutritional choices and to practice cooperation to
ensure the safety of our school community, and to learn about accepting each person as unique and different.
Thank you for your help and cooperation.
