Oh my gosh a very similar thing happened to me when my son was in preschool. What are they thinking??? I am still very much moving forward with this issue, and I can assure you I will keep plugging away. I remain positive that we will still have a favorable outcome with all this.

Just today my daughter's Pre-K class had cupcakes for a classmate's birthday. Her teachers, who have been so wonderful this year about her dairy allergy, informed the mom there was a child with a food allergy and asked if she would bring an alternative treat for my daughter. She brought her an orange. An orange!! Her teachers were appalled and scrounged up a popsicle for her. It's bad enough that we have to deal with the physical threat of her allergy...having to deal with being excluded from birthday treats, etc just makes it worse. So her teachers and I agreed that I'll throw some frozen Divvies cookies in the class freezer for such "emergencies". Sorry to vent, but bless their hearts, parents of non-allergy kids don't understand...and I know you do. Love your blog...can't wait for the book!

Our district nurse is actually challenging me on the feasibility of making dd's classroom itself food free for next year even though her teacher this year somehow managed quite successfully (without me even asking!). Just ridiculous. That’s really too bad.

I haven't tackled this one in our district. I will say that it's a non-issue after elementary school. That said, I see no need for birthday food treats to be brought into our classrooms. It's not necessary. Keep us posted. I haven’t tackled this one in our district. I will say that it’s a non-issue after elementary school.

The law is on the parents of food allergic children's side. Hopefully both sides can continue to work together to come up with a more safe, effective solution.
