May is Allergy Awareness Month! One in thirteen children has food allergies—that’s about two in every U.S. classroom. Everyone from the classroom teacher to school nurse to the cafeteria staff plays a role in creating a safe environment for students with food allergies. We also need our families support in teaching our children about not only their own allergies, but how to keep their family and friends with allergies safe too. If your child has an allergy, or develops a new allergy, please be sure to notify the school immediately.

Multicultural Week

Students worked together in our Kindness Cafe to complete our school-wide project to highlight the uniqueness of each of our students!
