Classroom Allergies

What NOT to pack in lunches

We have a few severe food allergies this year among our student population. In an effort to keep
everyone safe, chef Matt has taken these allergies into account and will refrain from serving
snacks in the classrooms or aftercare that contain severe allergens. He will also accommodate all
food allergies among the toddler population and curate these meals to be allergy free for all
toddlers. Baseline, all of chef Matt’s menu items will be free of tree nuts, across the
board.
