[quote=Anonymous]Room parent here. We collect for the class parties and gifts at the beginning of the year. In a class with 23 kids, we collected about $450 (we suggest $25/child but appreciate any amount). That $450 covers Halloween party, Valentine's day party, holiday gift, b-day gift, teacher appreciation week, and end of year gift. We gave $100 to the teacher for the holiday gift. As room parent I have already contributed about $75 plus hours of my time for the party and the class phone/address list. We will spend every bit and probably more before the end of the year. Our PTA suggests a $25 contribution request so our total kitty is only going to be about $600 at best. My kids attend a public school in MoCo. Teachers are not going make it or break it on the holiday gift. The purpose is a small gesture of appreciation and good wishes. [/quote]
