RE: Question for those that have been pre-school Room Moms/Dads
I was one of the room moms for DD's preschool class last year. That's pretty much what I did. But her school had a Room Parent Committee (I think it met once or twice at the very beginning) and we just basically did what they told us LOL!!
The other thing I did was set up monthly coffees after the first one. It was nice because sometimes you can't make one coffee, but you can the others. And the moms actually appreciated the on-going ability to see and talk to each other outside of school to be able to get and give feedback about how the school year was going.
We did Teacher Appreciation Day as part of the Week of the Young Child which is sometime in the spring. I forget exactly when.
