how much to give?
DS is in 1st grade and between his teacher, bus driver, and after school program - we have 10 to buy holiday gifts for. How much would you give to each person?
For his teacher, I got a personalized notepad and was going to give her a gift card, but I don't know everyone else. My tendency is to say $10.

Our school does a collection for the teachers (all the teachers, which for us is the grade level teacher, art, music, PE, Spanish, Mandarin, library, technology, after care, and 2 administrative assistants). The money is pooled and divided. We really like the bus driver this year, so instead of a $10 Starbucks/DD gift card, I'm getting her a $25 Target card.

That's a lot of people to buy for. When my kids went to aftercare, I usually got them candy. If you belong to BJ's or Costco they have a lot of gift sets that are less than $10. I would probably do something like that. I would not spend more than $10.

Re: how much to give?
It does add up, but we do $25 for the teacher and bus driver, and $10 to everyone else (there are 8 others we gift). They all do an exceptional job, so even though it's a lot, it makes me feel good to do it.

Our school does a collection as well - $10 per kid, $5 goes to the teacher and the rest is split up between the aides, art, music and gym teachers. I got the teacher and the aide something extra since I like them a lot and I know they do a lot!
For bus driver and after school program - we're doing $10 each (4 people).
