[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been a room parent. I have had two kids go through these years. I have never once been to a class party with pizza. As someone else said, why? They have lunch at school. Ask for people to bring specific items via signup genius. This should be snacks, not a meal. Ask for money at the beginning of the year for teacher gifts. Send out two follow-up reminders. However much money you receive, divide up the money among the necessary gifts. Done. [/quote] This. The people who donate things pay for them. If I sign up to do crafts, then I expect to run to the $1 store and get 20 crafts. If someone does a game, I expect they spend about the same or less on game supplies. Usually three people do snacks— one food, one drinks, and one plates/napkins. And usually someone bakes cookies to decorate. That costs probably less than $10/person. [/quote] Our school does not allow homemade food. Store bought in package only.[/quote]
