Allergy Alert: Some of our students at ESUMS have severe allergies to Peanuts, Nuts and Seafood. These allergies can be life threatening. We ask all students Not to bring Peanuts or Nuts to school. Our allergic students must constantly watch out for foods that contain nuts, even in small amounts. Help them by staying aware of the serious health threat they face. These students have Epi-Pens stored in the Nurse's office in case they are exposed to the food that they are constantly trying to avoid.
