[quote=Anonymous]All my kid cares about, party wise, is a 30 minute to an hour long distraction from school. He likes when there is a snack and a few games to play but it is the break in routine that is nice. He really likes it when I can be there to help, so I try and find a way to be there.

I suppose a pizza party with cupcakes and the like would be seen as awesome, because he is 6. But he is cool with whatever happens because it means he is not doing math or english or social studies.

It is great that there are some parents who are so into the school party that they want to make everything epic. I’ll chip in a few bucks if you ask for money or bring in the juice boxes I sign up for but I am not chipping in enough for pizza an cupcakes and games with prizes.

As for teacher gifts, we donate $25 a teacher for the Holidays and teacher appreciation day. We have not had a bad teacher yet and I am more then well aware of how much the teachers provide for the classroom. I like it that the room parents get one large gift card for the teachers and I hope that they use some of that money on themselves. I bring in what ever supplies that they ask for and the occassional snack booster for them. We buy books through Scholastic because little man loves to read and the money, at least some of it, makes its way back into the classroom.

If yu want to go all out, go for it. My kid will love it but be prepared to do a lot of it solo because most parents don’t see it as necessary. [/quote]
