Aloha Fridays are brought to you by Kailani from An Island Life. Over there in Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that they take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So Kailani thought that on Fridays she would take it easy on posting, too. So, for Aloha Friday, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Answer my question and put one of your own up on your blog. Link up and check out other blogs that participate at An Island Life.
Do you get Christmas gifts for your children's teachers? Or any other helpers like bus drivers?
Oscar is in the first grade and I know that the thought occurred to me last year but it was after the fact. I don't know if its appropriate, polite or totally unnecessary. I'm not really sure if I should get something or just skip it. That's why I ask, do you get Christmas gifts for your children's teachers?

Last year I organized a gift for my son's teachers with the other parents. This year I am opting not to do this. As nice as it was, it was not worth the aggravation. This year I will buy his teacher a gift card to either a book store or another location that she enjoys.
From what I hear from friends, the pressure is put on parents even in preschool....that everyone needs to pitch in so much money to buy birthday gifts and such for teachers. I think that is horrible. I'm sure teachers understand that many families just can't and shouldn't get them gifts.
* my Aloha Friday is up too:)
It doesn't have to be big. A five dollar gift card, something the class can use (crayons, flashcards, a puzzle), a bake good.
I do give a small gift to our mail man though and we make treats for our neighbors.
Happy Holidays!
Happy Friday!
