GSCTX Monthly Patch Program for May 2016: Celia Kaye Explorer Patch
- May is Celiac Awareness month. It is a time to reflect on those who are negatively affected by foods that contain gluten. Gluten is a type of protein that is found in several foods such as wheat, barley and rye. There are other common food allergies to be aware of as well. By completing these activities you will learn more about celiac disease and other allergies, and be sensitive to those who are affected. The first 30 people to complete all 10 of these activities will receive a copy of the book “The Adventures of Celia Kaye” by Kaitlin Puccio.
