I think that's very generous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-appreciation-week-question#post-2731014 Mon, 01 May 2017 14:32:31 +0000 snowjewelz 2731014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, that's crazy. I was able to afford a little more before when she only had 2 teachers; but now there are three so I do modest giftcards plus a small gift and plan to bring in cookies or muffins at the end of the week for everyone to share. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-appreciation-week-question#post-2731011 Mon, 01 May 2017 14:16:51 +0000 Bibliolove 2731011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsbubbletea: what the heck? My eyes are bugging out. My mom used to give fancy candles as teacher gifts....has so much changed? I would go with your original plan of $50! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-appreciation-week-question#post-2730918 Mon, 01 May 2017 12:20:36 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2730918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I agree. She totally made it sound like anything or nothing is fine. So it's really just my own worry about how much. </p> <p>@erinbaderin: no, two tickets total, but I still felt like 700 was a lot unless this was the only gift and everyone contributed. They called this the Bonus gift in addition to all the other daily presents (some of which also involved collections of money). </p> <p>@gingerbebe: he has three teachers, more like4, but one of the main teachers these warriors tickets are for isn't even really around in the afternoon when he goes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-appreciation-week-question#post-2730905 Mon, 01 May 2017 12:05:05 +0000 gingerbebe 2730905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids each have 2 teachers and I contributed $100 for the teacher pot that they will divide up - so $25 a head. I will also give them individual cards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-appreciation-week-question#post-2730904 Mon, 01 May 2017 12:03:55 +0000 erinbaderin 2730904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Holy crap, that's a big gift! So that's 2 tickets for each of 2 teachers, $1400 total? Wow. How many other kids are in the class? I think $50 is fine regardless of your other answers - that's what you're comfortable with! I wouldn't judge you if I were coordinating it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-appreciation-week-question#post-2730901 Mon, 01 May 2017 11:59:49 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2730901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$50 is fine. It's not like she told you how much the tickets were before hand to make sure you were comfortable with the cost. </p> <p>How many other parents were supposed to contribute? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-appreciation-week-question#post-2730896 Mon, 01 May 2017 11:54:10 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2730896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Quick question, I emailed a parent from my son's class about contributing to the basketball tickets, since I hadn't got around to any other contribution or participation. I am shocked, call me cheap, but she got 2 tickets for $350 each for the two main teachers. My question is how much can I contribute without seeming stingy... I was thinking $50 total, but thats such a tiny percentage is that ridiculous? I guess I could stretch to $100 total. I just already pay so much for this school, and he only goes 9h/week, I would rather give them a heartfelt card and maybe a token gift. I do appreciate them but 700 is crazy!!! This is addition to other daily gifts, ranging from amazon gift card, treats, etc. </p> <p>I was about to email her saying I am gonna give them something on my own, and she had already emailed me saying she hadn't heard from me and didnt want us to feel left out and had to drop them off today so she already signed our name, no pressure to donate. So nice, but of course I feel the need to donate! </p>
