Parents/Guardians,
This is to let you know that Montezuma Elementary has a student who is severely allergic to peanuts. As such, for the health and safety of the student, we have decided to change to sunbutter for the “peanut butter”and jelly sandwiches that we serve in the cafeteria. The sunbutter tastes almost the same as peanut butter, so your student may not even notice a difference if they eat them.
More detailed information will be sent to those students whose classroom this affects, but the sunbutter will be served for everyone.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Nurse Marla at Riverton Parke at 765-569-2045.
Thank you.
