ECO CLUB NEWS!! The Laurelwood Eco Club has an exciting new project to announce. Starting next week the school will be using recycling bins to recyle plastic containers. Items that can be placed in the recyling are rinsed yogurt and pudding containers, liquid yogurt containers, lunchable containers and juice boxes. The ECO club weighed the garbage today and found Laurelwood to have a total of 11.5 pounds of garbage after first break. Let's do our part to make a difference and bring that
number down by using the plastic recycling bins. Thanks for your support!

Peanut Substitutes
A new substitute peanut butter product is being marketed to consumers as a safe alternative for children to bring to schools in place of peanut butter. The Waterloo Region District School Board asks that parents refrain from including these kinds of products in your child’s lunches or snacks.
These products tend to look, taste, and smell very much like peanut butter. While the product is nut free, it mimics a known allergen that causes anaphylaxis in some children to the degree that it is indistinguishable from the allergen. It is a convincing substitute, opening up the possibility that it can be confused as peanut butter, or worse yet, peanut butter could be confused as this soy-based product.
The safety and health of our students is our first priority, which is why our schools have procedures in place to minimize risk of anaphylaxis reactions in our students. We sincerely appreciate your cooperation in avoiding the use of these products to assist in our continued efforts to create a safe, caring and inclusive learning environment for all students.
