[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At our elementary in Bethesda we were asked to donate $20-25 per child at the beginning of the year.  We ended up getting around $400.  We sent a few emails to collect funds in the first month of school and offered paypal and venmo as payment options.

We spent $75 on the Halloween party and have budgeted $60 each for the Valentine's day and end of year parties.  Plus spent $100 on the class holiday gift and will spend another $100 on teacher appreciation week.

The food at the halloween party was fruit, juice, water, popcorn/pretzels and mini cupcakes.  We had games, decorations and prizes.

I'm detailing all of this to say that even at a school of upper middle class families, there is not a huge budget for these events and we're definitely not ordering pizza.[/quote]

Its how you choose to spend the money.  You could easily do pizza and a desert on $75.  I don't get where the $75 went if you only had fruit, juice, water, popcorn/pretzels and mini cupcakes.  You don't need juice.  You can easily do pizza, desert, bottled water (or none if kids have water bottles), and fruit for $75.
