You might want to think twice when packing your child’s lunch.

School District of Mystery Lake superintendant, Lorie Henderson says there are students who have a severe allergy in every school.

She says parents will usually know if their child has a classmate with an allergy:

"We ask the parents for their permission to send home a letter letting the other parents know that there is a student in the classroom who has known risks of anaphylaxis and that they cooperate, that they try not to send anything in lunches or snacks, that they inform the teacher prior to distributing any food products through the school".

Henderson says the schools are “nut-aware”.
