Just another word of caution re: making masks directly on students faces. I
have students who are highly alergice to laytex (pardon my spelling). I
would really caution anyone against putting molding materials on a students
face. These days, when folks sue at the drop of a hat, you not just talking
alergies, but what if someone gets something in his/her eye...or just kind of
freaks out from being all wrapped up.....and goes home to mom and dad to
complain.

I realize those of you who have done this for years think I am being overly
cautious....but I just felt I had to say again that is not a good idea...for
many reasons.
