[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are the holiday gifts, the teacher appreciation week gifts and then the end-of-year gifts.  $100 is fine!  [/quote]

I like the preschool way of donating to one pot of money that gets evenly distributed to all the teachers and aids as a holiday bonus and the giving is anonymous.

Anyway PP is right, we give to the PTA and support the PTA fundraising, some of that money goes to supplies for teachers.  We bring in supplies when teachers send out a list. We also give class money and possibly baked goods or whatever activity for teacher appreciation and we give money to holiday gift and end of year gift.

First, all these things are supposed to be voluntary. If I am about to be laid off, have this time five kids, or whatever, I hate to think what is supposed to be voluntary and discretionary giving has become some major drama with the classroom.  Second, a gift is supposed to be just that.  Do you call to shake down your relatives to say "oh Grandma, you could only send $30 this year why did you even bother, or do you say thank you, and think of what extra thing you may do with this money?[/quote]
