I got Barnes and Noble cards for everyone, including DS soccer coach.

Just to clarify: You, as an individual family, contributed $100 towards one teacher's gift.
Is that correct?

A card with sincere thoughts and thanks from my child.

I'm a room parent and contributed $100 to the pot

As a teacher, I think I'd feel weird getting an envelope full of cash. If it was a brand new $100 bill in a kid designed card that might be a little more "gifty" or "novelty" I think. But just getting a bunch of $20s and such seems a little bit strange and uncomfortable to me. No idea why, just does.

gave to class gift

we gave $50 amazon gift cards to the teacher and to the teacher's aide and $10 starbucks cards to SACC teachers. I wasn't sure what to do about sacc. There are 5 teachers and I basically ran out of money.

Anonymous wrote:Question for the teachers. Would you be offended if you got cash in a card as a gift? I'd rather do that than a gift card but wasn't sure whether this is appropriate.

I think because it's a group gift it's fine.

I wouldn't be offended.
