Only one message went out about it and it said contributing is optional and the card will be from the whole class. I thought it was a open ended enough to not be too much pressure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-for-class-mom-too-meta#post-2907107 Fri, 27 Dec 2019 23:44:29 +0000 PinkElephant 2907107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Carrot: my DDs schools don’t allow the class parents to organize holiday teacher gifts - something about when the class parents organize it, the collection can appear to be mandatory/there is unfair pressure to contribute, so as a class parent I’ve only organized year end gifts (after unknowingly doing a class holiday gift my first year and getting busted, haha). So don’t feel bad!!</p> <p>@Litebrite: I’d honestly feel kind of guilty if a parent in one of my kids’ classes got me a gift for being class parent. In the past I’ve received gifts from the teachers - a poinsettia at Christmas, or a cute photo collage of my child at year end - but nothing from parents. A quick email or text is really kind and affirming, especially if you or your kiddo really liked a particular party activity and you want to tell the class parent! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-for-class-mom-too-meta#post-2907069 Fri, 27 Dec 2019 13:20:41 +0000 Mrs. Carrot 2907069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a class mom and no one reached out to me and I honestly didn't even think of it as a thing. Though your post did make me do a double-take on the fact that I didn't organize a gift for the teacher, just got one for her from our family, so clearly I'm killing it at the class mom thing lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-for-class-mom-too-meta#post-2906821 Mon, 23 Dec 2019 11:38:05 +0000 hellobeeboston 2906821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Litebrite: our room mom for our 1 st grade just did an awesome gift for our teacher... we all emailed how grateful we were, and I had her over for some tea the other day to say thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-for-class-mom-too-meta#post-2906814 Mon, 23 Dec 2019 09:52:48 +0000 graceandjoy 2906814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a nice email would do! I volunteered to collect money for teachers gifts for our class; that was my way of thanking the class moms for doing all the other stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-for-class-mom-too-meta#post-2906688 Fri, 20 Dec 2019 22:06:07 +0000 bhbee 2906688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sent some nice texts to ours today :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-for-class-mom-too-meta#post-2906677 Fri, 20 Dec 2019 20:25:43 +0000 winter_wonder 2906677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>An email is a nice gesture! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-for-class-mom-too-meta#post-2906676 Fri, 20 Dec 2019 20:18:46 +0000 jhd 2906676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would probably just do a nice email! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-for-class-mom-too-meta#post-2906672 Fri, 20 Dec 2019 19:50:13 +0000 Litebrite 2906672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My big kid is in kindergarten and there are 3 class moms that do all the organizing, like the class holiday party and holiday gifts for the teachers. I appreciate the time they take for this...this getting them a thank you gift too much? Or maybe just a nice email?</p> <p>Does anyone else thank the class moms? </p>
