Holiday Party Food Ideas
As a general rule of thumb for any class party, I like to have for food a sweet, a salty, a fruit and drink. Plus to include all the necessary items to go along with that (cups vs. Drink boxes, plates, napkins, utensils (if needed))
Also before planning food items to be brought in, check with the school and/or teacher for stipulations about store bought vs. homemade treats. The allergy factor of individual children seem to be setting the tone for individual classrooms and entire school party menus. Be safe, check first.

(Side note: I say younger teachers, not that teachers that have been teaching a while wouldn't like those things...but if they have taught for a few years they might already have a fabulous collection from previous classes)
Items for the classroom:
- books
- games for indoor recess
- educational games
- manipulative's
- craft supplies (particularly for younger grades)
Class gift:
If you have a little extra time, some items that are fun are:
- a basket of new or gently used books for the teacher's library.
- a teacher chair (like a directors chair) with everyone's signature from that year.
- a tote bag with a theme and everyone's signature (I used a rectangular plain canvas
bag. I made it into a flag with a blue box in the upper left corner with a few stenciled
in stars-
- not colored in. The red stripes were the kids names written by them. I taped the lines for the white stripes and let them sign in red fabric marker.) - a glass vase with signatures from the class written in craft paint pen for glass/plastic. (I made flowers drawn onto the vase and the kids all signed into the petals. Up the side I wrote "Thanks for helping us grow". Teachers always need vases.)
- a teacher apron with everyone's signature on it (see craft store for plain ones)
- a book from the kids-
- have the students fill out their best memories, things they liked the most, things they didn't really like, funniest moments, most embarrassing moments, what you liked best about the year, the teacher is great because..., (just some ideas to get you started. I usually made out a form and sent it home secretly with the kids to fill out and then came in one day at recess and took all their pictures to mount on their individual pages. Start early and then put together into a book for the teacher.) - a class picture framed with their memories of the year written on the matting with their signatures
