[quote=Anonymous]My kids are in Catholic school, but the room parents send out a letter at the beginning of each school year and ask for a voluntary donation of $50 per child to take care of Christmas, teacher birthday, teacher appreciation, and end-of-year gifts.  The room parents then buy the gift when the particular date is close and send out an email to the class parents explaining what was given to the teacher (a gift certificate for a massage and a gift card to Ann Taylor, for example). They also send a reminder email as the time gets closer in case the kids want to draw a card or write a note for the teacher's birthday or teacher appreciation week.  I realize that there certainly schools and families that couldn't afford a $50 donation, either in a lump sum or throughout the year, but it works for our school, and I appreciate it as a parent.

My kids' preschool took the "bring something different in every day of teacher appreciation week" approach (a single flower to create a bouquet, color a picture, write a note, etc) and it was a bit much for two working parents with kids in multiple classrooms.[/quote]
