[quote=Anonymous]We only collect 10$ per family in my MCPS elementary school (fairly affluent). That's supposed to cover food/activities for 3 parties (Halloween, Valentine's Day and end of year) plus a teacher holiday gift and an end of the year gift. In practice, parents provide most of the food, we use the room parent funds for the gift cards and the room parents pay for the crafts so we don't need to bother people about more $ needed. So for room parents you need to be willing to shell out more dough. I suggested at one point that we increase it to 20$ per family since our school is fairly affluent, but other more experienced room parents said there was so much whining that it wasn't worth the hassle so they leave it at 10$ and supplement out of their own pocket.[/quote]
