    Canyon Springs has over 60 students with food allergies. You can find these children in every grade and in every classroom on our campus. For this reason our campus classrooms are all nut free and outside food for individual parties and celebrations (i.e. birthdays) is not allowed.  Parents who prepare a lunch at home and send it to school with their child can "pack" whatever you choose, but packed lunches will only be eaten in the dining hall.   Our school prepared lunches are nut free and we provide a "nut free" table in our dining area where parents may elect to have their children eat if they choose.

Here are two links to national recognized medical facilities in AZ that deal specifically with head trauma.
