Need to Report Something Unsafe?

Safe2Say Something is a youth violence prevention program run by the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General. The program teaches youth and adults how to recognize warning signs and signals, especially within social media, from individuals who may be a threat to themselves or others and to “say something” BEFORE it is too late.

Peanut Butter at Cranberry Elementary

Cranberry Elementary is not a peanut free facility.  In order to balance our students’ desire for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with those students who have peanut allergies, we offer Smucker’s Uncrustables.  Uncrustables are an individually wrapped product and served to help prevent cross-contact.   Peanut butter is not used in cooking or in desserts.  Students with peanut allergies may request to be at a peanut free table and/or other accommodations will be made.  If a situation arises when we have a student with a life-threatening peanut allergy, this procedure will be reconsidered.  If you have any comments or concerns, please contact Kim Daugherty at metz@cranberrysd.org.  You will receive an immediate personal response to your email.
