[quote=Anonymous]I know it's too late to do this, but for all those people thinking about being room parents next year, our private school, on the open house day (the day before the first day of school, where kids come meet their teachers, get their lockers, etc), the school parents IN PERSON for $15 per kid for class parties, via check or cash.  Right then and there.  We get almost 100%. This is for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's, St. Patrick's day, Easter and last day of school (which is an ice cream party). It covers bottled water, paper goods, and crafts.  Other than end of year party it does NOT cover food.  We do a signupgenius to cover party specific food which we try to balance between 1) fruit or veggies and 2) something a bit more sugary, like muffins or cookies.  Like for Halloween we will probably get pealed clementines with celery as jackolaterns, and some cookies.

Class gifts, we do a separate collection for the holidays.  We get about 50% participation, and within that some people give $5 and some $100.  [/quote]
