- Teacher holiday gift 2024. Holidays are here. I’m collecting for a group gift as always. No pressure to participate. Suggested donation of $15 and a baby book or small baby item for Mrs. Pablo and baby. I will have Dean bring a basket into school the last day before winter break, and kids can just drop their books in there and sign a card. Based on the amount collected, the two dual teachers (Alpert and Mendoza) will get a small personalized item and an Amazon gift card. Gifts will be given out the last day before winter break. Deadline to participate will be December 15!
