I will participate, but I can't do all the coordination efforts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-room-mom#post-1814214 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 14:05:48 +0000 yoursilverlining 1814214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup; I am our Parent Rep (room mom)!</p> <p> It’s not a lot of work – I go to meetings once a month, and send out an email to all the parents in our room a few days before the meeting to gather any questions / praise / complaints they have, or anything they want me to bring up at the meeting. </p> <p>I also help collect $ for teacher gifts and organize the teacher’s appreciation week activities. There were a lot of activities this year for TA week (like 1-2 per day!); but it still wasn’t a ton of work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-room-mom#post-1814156 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 13:44:01 +0000 cheert16 1814156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: that sounds super fun!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-room-mom#post-1814150 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 13:41:23 +0000 Smurfette 1814150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cheert16: Organizes the class parties (holidays, etc), gifts for the teacher (teacher appreciation, birthdays), and keeps all the parents informed of upcoming events. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-room-mom#post-1814141 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 13:38:13 +0000 cheert16 1814141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lil B's daycare doesn't have that- what does the room mom do? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-room-mom#post-1814139 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 13:37:21 +0000 Alivoo01 1814139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS's daycare doesn't have room mom, but I'd love to be one when he's older at grade school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-room-mom#post-1814095 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 13:21:35 +0000 Smurfette 1814095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got an email from day care and they are looking for 2 Mom/Dad's to be the room Mom/Dad for the year. So I volunteered. Hopefully I don't regret it! </p>
