 Mrs. Loren Lieb, whose son Josh was a victim of the August 1999 white supremacist attack  on the Jewish Community Center of Granada Hills, and who was the subject of a recent Steve Lopez Los Angeles Times op-ed on gun violence, has graciously agreed to speak at our upcoming Sunday morning speaker event.  She has worked for years with the Brady organization as well as the West L.A.-based Women Against Gun Violence Organization.  We urge you to read the op-ed and to attend this important and timely bagel brunch.

For the safety of all children, NO peanuts and/or any other kind of tree nuts are permitted. Food items that are “processed in a facility” with peanuts and/or any other kind of tree nuts are ok. Avoid items that “may contain” or are “made on shared equipment” with peanuts and/or any other kind of tree nuts.

If there are additional food allergies in your classroom, all parents in the class will be notified.

NO homemade items baked at home, due to the risk of cross contamination. NO choking hazards: popcorn, un-cut grapes/cherry tomatoes/other small round foods.

Please stick to the following food item list (including brand). Each brand has different ingredients and the exact food items below have been deemed safe for all the children.
