Вот, решила поделиться, только что получила, как раз по теме (одна из лучших публичных (бесплатных) школ в нашем штате). Из серии "а как у них". Hello Parents,We would like to introduce ourselves as the room parents for Mr. LeFlore’s 3rd grade class.  As room parents we will be helping to plan three parties throughout the year (Halloween, Valentine’s and End-of-the-Year), the Teacher/Staff Appreciation Week, and other social events. We will also coordinate the purchase of Scholastic books and gifts for our children’s teacher as well as volunteer opportunities that Mr. LeFlore may request.  In fact, you should have already received the first email/link to signups for classroom volunteering (thanks to all who have signed up).To cover the cost of the class parties and Teacher Appreciation Week we would like to ask for a one time donation of $25, or any amount that you feel is appropriate.  These donations are completely voluntary and totally confidential.  Your child will always be included in all parties and class events regardless of the donation.  In addition, we are asking parents to donate $20 to buy class gifts for the teacher for the holidays and the end of the school year. Please send in your donation by October 11th so we may begin planning our events. For your convenience and confidentiality, please complete the form attached and send it with your donation in a sealed envelope to school with your child.  Please address the envelope to:  “Parents of Marissa Mandir”.  You may send cash or write a check to Dorothy Chung.MARK YOUR CALENDARS for a fun family cookout/picnic on October 19th for students and their families in Mr. LeFlore’s class, including him and his family. This will be a great chance for the kids to get to know one another outside of the classroom. Tentative time: 4pm. Let us know if you want to participate in the organization of this event. More information to follow.Throughout the year we may need to communicate with you via email. Please let us know if your email changes at any time and feel free to contact us with suggestions or questions. Thank you for your support in advance and we look forward to a great year together!  Kindly,
