As part of the district's ongoing effort to bring greater awareness to food allergies and to highlight the Be A PAL and Protect A Life from Food Allergies initiative, the district is providing every student with a teal-colored "Be a D25 PAL" bracelet. The bracelets will be distributed to all students on Wednesday, October 28th.
Dr. Bein sent the following letter to all families last week highlighting the different ways that students and families can be a D25 PAL to students with food allergies. As she notes in her letter, the Food Allergy & Research Education organization started the teal pumpkin project last year. The teal pumpkin project encourages families to display a teal painted pumpkin and provide non-food treats on Halloween. Every since then, teal has come to symbolize allergy awareness and supporting children with food allergies. We will be sharing information about how to be a D25 PAL and how to support the teal pumpkin project on Wednesday morning's announcements.
