You have all read the headlines and seen the news stories: food allergies are a growing concern in schools and camps across America. Millions of children – children who are perfectly healthy and normal in every other way – must watch every single bite they eat, or risk suffering a severe or even life-threatening reaction. Some of our students have serious peanut and tree nut allergies. A child with a serious peanut/tree nut allergy can suffer a reaction merely by touching a peanut/tree nut containing food. Therefore, we have put the following safety guidelines into effect:
For some children, all nuts are poison. Peanut butter is particularly deadly to anaphylactic children because it sticks to surfaces, cutlery, hands and faces. We have established these guidelines to make our school a safer place for all children. To do this, we need everyone’s cooperation. A small amount can kill. We realize this request poses an inconvenience for you when packing your child’s healthy snack and lunch, however we wish to express sincere appreciation for your support and understanding of this potentially life-threatening allergy.
As parents concerned about their children’s health, education and welfare, we all have a responsibility to provide good nutrition for our children. This will not only keep them healthy but will teach them the basics of a well-balanced diet.
The JCC’s Kosher Policy (see above) applies to all age groups. Infants drinking milk-based formulas can be offered their bottle anytime after meals, including those containing meat or poultry. Naturally, infants’ nutrition should never be compromised. Keep in mind that your child needs less food than you suspect and that children usually eat when hungry and enough to maintain the proper growth rate. All foods sent to school must be pre-cut for the younger children and age appropriate. Popcorn and uncut grapes are a choking hazard and are not permitted. Be sure to include all utensils. The children may not share foods at lunch. Always be sure to include a beverage.
We recommend that lunches include food from the following groups:
Here are some creative ideas to get you started:
If you have special feeding needs for your child, please speak to your child’s teacher.
We hope you will find these ideas helpful and that your children will enjoy nutritious lunches at school.
