An Important Message from Bernabi's Allergy Awareness Team
Published on Aug 23, 2019 10:42
We
are encouraging all birthday celebrations to become food free.
As you are aware, the school formed
a committee last school year to review the growing concern for food
allergies. While we are doing a number of things internally to support
our staff with their understanding and ability to support known allergies, we
also need your help to protect the safety of our students. I recognize
that change is difficult, but I am asking for and greatly appreciate your help
in supporting student safety.
We hope not to discourage you from
celebrating your child’s birthday and ask that you consider the following items
if you wish to set up a celebration with your child’s teacher: bubbles, books,
games, puzzles, pens, pencils, erasers or goodie bags with any other non-food
items. Perhaps even more meaningful, bypass classroom “gifts” by coming
in and choosing a book to read to the class—this is always popular with our
students!
Thank you in advance for your
support and partnership in making Bernabi the best and safest place for all
students!
David Caiazza
Principal
