PLEASE KEEP IN MIND….

Many Clairlea students and staff have allergies and some are life threatening.   As a community, we must work together to provide a safe environment for all. We ask you to ensure that no peanut or other nut products enter our building. Seafood & shellfish also pose a threat to some of our students.

Please take the time to read the list of ingredients carefully on all products. Here are some examples of foods that contain these potentially life threatening items:

Nutella - contains Hazelnuts

Seaweed Snacks – contains fish sauce, salmon or other fish products

Peanut Butter Granola Bars – contains peanuts

Tuna or Sushi – fish products

Pesto sauce – can contain pine nuts and anchovy paste

HOW TO REACH US…

If you know someone that would like to be added to the distribution list please send a request to clairleacouncil@gmail.com.  We would like to hear your feedback and suggestions.  Do you have any feedback about the Halloween Howl, Norcard or any fundraiser and how we can make it better for next year or what you liked about it this year?  Are you able to volunteer for the Fun Fair or do you have a donation we can use?  If you are not able to come to the next meeting and want to contribute ideas please email them to us or drop a note in the council box in the office and we can bring them forward to the meeting.   

You can contact us via email at clairleacouncil@gmail.com, on the blog at http://clairleacouncil.blogspot.com, or have a look at our bulletin board outside the office for the latest news.
