Yes, they could bring peanut butter & jelly sandwiches. They just had to leave them with the lunch ladies. The only thing I was mad about was if they brought the sandwich they had a peanut pinned to their shirt & ate at a different table. If anybody needed the peanut pinned on them, the allergic child did. It was hard to say no to the mothers who wanted to send in baked goodies. They meant well but we could not take the chance of somebody being ignorant or not believing a child can actually die from using peanut oil. There were four class mothers. The boy who was allergic to peanuts mother was one, then myself & two other mothers. Those mothers spent their days making things difficult for us. We found Dunkin Donuts was suitable for the boy & asked parents to send those in on birthdays. However about this time came the reform act. That was the no sugar, soda etc in lunches. I sent my skinny daughter to school with a gingerbread cookie as a snack, the little bit of icing on it got me a call from the nurse. Best thing I ever did was take her out of that school.
