Be Considerate of People with Allergies

Allergies are real and can be a major health issue if not addressed properly.  Students are encouraged to remind teachers concerning allergies.  Allergies can be detrimental if not treated or if allergens are not avoided.  A person's allergies should not be taken for granted or belittled.  Please click the link below to read an article concerning an 11-year-old who lost his life because of his allergy to fish.

11-year-old boy dies from apparent allergic reaction to fish cooking at his grandmother's New York home: Officials originally appeared on abcnews.go.com

An 11-year-old boy apparently suffered a severe asthma attack and died when he inhaled the aroma of salt fish cooking in his grandmother's New York City home after going there to wish her a happy New Year, according to his mother.

"I just want whatever happened to my family not to happen to someone else," Jody Pottingr, the mother of Cameron Jean-Pierre, told ABC News on Thursday.

Pottingr said her son suffered from asthma and had a severe allergic reaction to fish. She now wants other parents of children with similar allergies to be aware that inhaling the aroma of fish can be deadly.

"Cameron was full of life. He was such a great kid," Pottingr said of her only child.

The activity was timed and students were given 60 seconds to complete the assignment. Students worked in teams of threes to complete the display. Student spectators provided feedback for each team. The teacher provided the final feedback and grade.
