NUT AWARE SCHOOL: H-BC Elementary School is a peanut/tree nut allergy aware area. There will be no classroom projects with peanut butter or peanut shells. Please do not send any of these projects into the classroom with your child. It is our hope that parents, who send a lunch from home for their child, CHOOSE NOT TO send foods containing peanut butter or nuts.
