It’s that time of year again… the one the kids all look forward to with antsy anticipation… and the one the moms all semi-dread… That’s right! End-of-school year time where we’re inundated with so many school activities for the kids, deciding on summer camps, and figuring out gifts for the teachers… Never fear, mama. As always, we’ve got your back – and the best end-of-school year hack: Cheddar Up.
ROOM PARENTS
Just being a parent of a child in school can be a lot. If you’ve volunteered to be a room parent on top of that, it’s a whole other level. To all those that have stepped up to serve in this vital role, we THANK YOU!!! Cheddar Up has great resources to help crush all those room parent duties! Most room parents take on handling communication, classroom parties, volunteer coordination, teacher support, PTA assistance, and teacher gifts.
Cheddar Up has the top 5 tips for a successful room parent: 1) Get to know your teacher, 2) Streamline parent communication, 3) Save time by scheduling reminders for payments and forms, 4) See how much you’ve collected for each event at once glance, and 5) Plan ahead for teacher gifts. They even offer a super simple Room Parent Toolkit where you can manage class field trips, teacher gifts, snack sign ups, and more in as easy as 1-2-3. Cheddar Up is made for groups. They even have a whole template library to save you time.
END-OF-SCHOOL ACTIVITIES

Whether it’s Field Day, Senior Night, or Prom, etc., Cheddar Up offers online ticketing, custom forms, volunteer sign-ups, bus reservations, t-shirt and food pre-ordering, QR codes and point-of-sale features, fundraising, and more.

TEACHER GIFTS
You can now easily create a teacher gift collection online! Whether you’re collecting for just one teacher or the whole school staff, Cheddar Up helps you pool money online for a teacher gift collection — FREE. And, they have a rock-solid reputation, having already collected $3.1 million in just teacher gifts! There are also collection templates set up for you, along with some pretty cool ideas for teacher appreciation gifts. Gift cards are always a go-to, but some of our favorites include gifting them a local adventure, wellness package, or coffee/tea club subscription. Even if you’re not the one in charge of coordinating this, you should absolutely tell your room parent or school office about how easy Cheddar Up makes it.
We love that their Basic plan is free for all. It lets you do a lot at no cost for simple fundraising or volunteer sign-ups.
