Religion and cafeteria food

Some of our families do not participate in the breakfast or lunch program for fear that their children will unwittingly eat meat or pork products. Avoiding meat is fairly easy by simply referring to the menu that goes home. The issue becomes how to avoid all meat products. For example, if the hot dogs are all beef, what is the casing made of? Is there gelatin made of pork by products in the soups and salad dressings? Is anyone interested in developing an elementary cafeteria school guide for followers of Islam, Judaism and Hinduism? Any comments about how you have dealt with this?

Dear English Club bloggers:

This is our area to talk about language learning generally as well as English Club specifically. We can talk about parent conferences or the recent Eid-el-hada, Diwali and Thanksgiving holidays! Please use this as a platform to share your culture with us.

Parent conferences

How have parent conferences been going? As you probably know, these conferences are intended for planning and goal setting for your child for the year.  Your input is critical.
