[quote=Anonymous]I'm a room parent this year too. Trial by fire. :) I just sent out requests for donations for a class gift basket that gets auctioned off as a fundraiser. I stressed that it's voluntary, but we accept items or cash. I suggested parents consider $5 or $10 (based on class size and goal). I asked them to let me know what items they wanted to donate, so I had an idea what's coming in. But the nature of the basket makes it easy to have duplicates. So personally I try to offer more choice in what they give in an effort to maximize donations and participation. I email everyone once a week with class reminders regarding due dates, events, etc. I use Mail Chimp, a free bulk email service. Other than that, I just help the teacher as needed. [/quote]
