Group gift for school staff (principal, secretary, custodian)

Class parents pooling one real gift for the staff who keep the school running.

The principal, secretary, custodian, and aides hold the school together and rarely get a meaningful gift. Giftaro lets the parent community pool one real thank-you — a hotel night, a restaurant package, a meaningful piece — without anyone stuck handling cash.

Typical contribution per person: $10–$30.
